I was wondering what the fuss was about. But then again, they obviously had not seen The Talented Mr Ripley. Basically the same premise. A nobody weaving himself into the lives of the wealthy.
While Barry Keoghan is a gifted actor his only shines in showcasing the erotic thriller aspect of his character. But that's actually a good thing.
It's just that he probably could very well do some other movies to showcase that range of his but not this one.
As for the cast, they could very well be done by unknowns. Speaking of which, with an actor like Carey Mulligan she deserves more screen time. Yet her role was in just a few scenes then she's gone. Jacob Elordi, too, could do something bigger especially with his name on the rise.
Like I said, the movie is not something that had not been done before. It's just flashy and posh.
Before watching this, I was hoping that there could be something actually happening between the Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi. But all we get were male nude scenes.
