Tomasz is a modern-day Tom Ripley


He is a con artist who will do whatever it takes to rise up through society and what's the fastest path to status these days? Social media. During his first dinner with Gabi's parents (who reveal themselves to be social snobs), you feel sorry for him. But as the film progresses, you begin to see how ruthless Tomasz is and how the internet enables his ruthlessness. Timely and thought-provoking. Not a feel-good film, but definitely a film worth watching and discussing.

Just noticed this movie on NetFlix ... it packs a lot of information in it for a feature film.
Who is Tom Ripley?

reply

Tom Ripley is a character created by novelist Patricia Highsmith. He was the subject of several books and the 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley (Matt Damon played Tom). Tomasz and Ripley are quite similar. If the two ever faced each other, it would be like two wolves squaring off.

Oh ... you should have said "the Talented Mr. Ripley". I get it ... true, but I am not done with the movie yet.
