Ripley struggling through Marge’s book was hilarious.

My favorite line is "that's not even a word...."

I thought I would miss seeing Italy in its sun-drenched color. But I am distracted, in a good way, by the stunning B&W cinematography. That quick shot of the cocktail on the balcony with the glorious sky beyond it.

Clothes truly do make the man.

Only drawback for me is that Dickie is almost lifeless - his personality is flat. Even forgetting the memorable Jude Law, Johnny Flynn's performance is barely there. I guess they were trying for languid wealth.

I'm late watching this.  I agree about the B&W being a great touch.

I think Flynn is putting enough into this that you can tell when Tom is imitating him.  I never thought of Andrew Scott as a mimic, but he's doing well here.
