You're likely much more familiar with Tom Ripley — the sociopathic social climber who murdered his way across high society in a series of novels, films and shows including 1999's The Talented Mr. Ripley and Netflix's recent Ripley — than you are with his creator, cantankerous crime novelist Patricia Highsmith. But in thenew meta-thriller A Talent for Murder, director Anton Corbijn and screenwriter Joanna Murray-Smith make a bet that the author herself is just as fascinating and shocking as her most famous character. And they might be right — at least, when Helen Mirren is playing the aggressive, provocative and famously bigoted Highsmith, in a swaggering performance that lets the typically elegant actress cut loose.
