Andrew Scott,Ripley,Performance

Andrew Scott's performance in the film 'Ripley' is notable for his lack of blinking throughout the entire runtime. Despite his seemingly meagre and desperate character, there is a calculated and mysterious quality about him. The film is a unique adaptation that pays homage to previous versions, including Anthony Minghella's.

We're open to correction on this, but for the entire runtime of 'Ripley', it seems as though Andrew Scott never blinks once while on screen.

This is particularly apparent in Dakota Fanning, in the role previously held by Gwyneth Paltrow. Where hers was a passive and ultimately tragic Marge Sherwood, playing the wronged woman with a stiff dignity, Dakota Fanning is far more petulant. Both Fanning and Flynn's characters are unremarkable in their chosen talents; she's an average-at-best writer, he's a poor painter, yet their mediocrity is sustained by their apparent wealth and privilege.
