Why watch this film?
A documentary that, using home recordings and stories from those who knew Patricia Highsmith, manages to create an homage to the famous author of Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley, Patricia Highsmith, which balances the intellectual with the emotional, even if it does not manage to be entirely clarifying regarding her most personal and mysterious side. Nevertheless, it is an essential documentary for the author's fans, which also features a warm narration by Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones).
