Pre-release sentiment

People are mostly positive, if a bit cautious, about the idea of this Highsmith meta-thriller. Helen Mirren is the main draw, with many excited to see her take on the iconic author. The premise itself, about a sinister fan trying to force a new Ripley novel, seems to land well enough, though some are already questioning if the story might feel too familiar. The rest of the cast, like Alden Ehrenreich and Olivia Cooke, is generating far less buzz so far.
