i saw this film without knowing much about it at all. the split screen device was immediately irritating and and things do not improve for me after the title sequence had finished. the plot and characters and dialogue were all extremely cliched  poor guy from abusive family gets thrown out of home and wants to get out of his lot and reinvents himself and changes his voice and dresses in others clothes and is adopted by a gay man who he proceeds to disgard on his way up to becoming part of an international set of drug taking british aristocrats. the estate of patricia highsmith (talented mr ripley) should be suing the makers of this film. the triple screen to me and together with the over 120 min duration and emphasises the almost non existent editing. can not decide which image works and is the most powerful and why not show three and hope you get it right with one of them. this gimmick removed any connection or interest i had with any of the characters. important dialogue was repeated 3 times across each screen and as if to say this is an important or moving or deep moment and ok. don not waste your time.
