COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Good Oldie for a New Era submitted by LibraryLiz on July 22, 2016, 7:58pm With an almost hitchcockian thrill and mystery, this film showcases all of the three main actors in a great story for superb character development. With each scene creating new struggles for our characters, and a continuous race against time and the police! Who is the bad guy? Who will come out on top? Check out this great film, that feels like a oldie, and find out!

Neo-noir Greek Tragedy submitted by sdwitmer on June 24, 2019, 10:57am The Two Faces of January starts out as an idyllic tour of Athens and quickly devolves into "Highsmith country" as a tense fugitive love triangle develops between a professional swindler, his young beautiful wife, and a charming but shifty tour guide. The film has much in common with the movie adaptation of Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley, such as an excellent cast, beautiful European setting, and a story of rootless con-men and double identity. Fans of other Highsmith film adaptations, such as Strangers on a Train and Carol, will also enjoy it.
