Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Its mechanical aesthetic suggests that rather than having to sublimate what remorse Tom Ripley might feel toward his actions, he simply doesn't experience any.

Slant Magazine
Directed at mercilessly cool, wickedly tense pace by Rene Clement....Alain Delon has never looked so much like a saint made of ice.
Uncut
Rating: 4/5 --
Alain Delon excels as gentleman psychopath Tom Ripley in René Clément's beautifully restored classic.

There is some good stuff in the first half hour... [But] the film degenerates to cops and robbers.

Esquire Magazine
...Oozes enjoyable kinkiness through every pore of its decadently sunstruck Eastman color film stock... -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 4/5 --
Highsmith had some doubts about the ending, which feels less daring than the one in her book, but there's a clever irony to it Hitchcock would have appreciated.

It's Delon -- impossibly beautiful, impossible to read, cold, cool -- who steals the film.
