Title: Well done, but depressing dark movie
Review: There are a lot of things to like about this movie, but unfortunately they are all superficial. First, the scenery is beautiful. 1950's Italy looks like an incredible place to live and provides a compelling backdrop for the actions of the characters. Second, all of the actors give great performances. Gwyneth Paltrow steals the show with her sympathetic performance. Blanchette and Hoffman are good and so is Damon as the evil Ripley. Law turns in a great performance as the victim of Damon's schemes. Then what is wrong about this movie? First, homosexuality is a big theme in this movie, which might turn some people off. Second, this is not a typical thriller so don't expect the typical good guy vs. bad guy ending. While the ending makes sense, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. My advice is to know what to expect before you watch this movie. If you enjoy these kind of artsy movies then this is for you.
