Date Night Pick

A sly, sumptuous thriller to unpack over dinner

Anton Corbijn frames a wickedly clever game of nerve as a young admirer travels to Switzerland to coax one last Ripley novel out of thriller legend Patricia Highsmith, and the charm slowly curdles into something far more dangerous. With Helen Mirren, Alden Ehrenreich, and Olivia Cooke trading glances loaded with menace, it is elegant, suspenseful, and endlessly debatable. At 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, it is the kind of stylish crime drama that leaves the two of you arguing deliciously all the way home.
