The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

In the movie, Tom Ripley describes himself as being locked in a dark basement with all his secrets and hidden demons. Here we get a glimpse into his life, and know that we've only scratched the surface of seeing his basement of secrets. Matt Damon turns in a stellar performance as he works carefully to keep the framework of his created reality in place, even as character after character appears to see through his charade. The ending is not unexpected but impacted me emotionally in a way I hadn't anticipated. Fascinating movie, although it moves slowly. 4 stars.
