The Talented Mr Ripley
Movie • 1999 • Crime

The main character pretends to be someone else in order to befriend Dickie. He then follows him everywhere whilst exhibiting very creepy behavior and eventually kills him to pretend to be him. It seemed very stalker-like to me.

The main character tries to, and usual succeeds at, convincing many people that things they saw or know are untrue, including people that he is somewhat romantically involved with.

No abuse, but there are a few scenes with martinis. A female character goes into the house to make martinis and returns outside carrying them on a tray, but you don't see anyone drink them. In another scene, a character is shown making martinis, but no one is shown drinking them.
There's a scene where two characters have beer, but only one is shown to take a sip.
There are a few scenes in the movie where characters drink wine or champagne or the bottle and glasses are shown, but it's not a main focus in those scenes.

There's a scene where a woman is restrained from attacking a male character.
It is not shown, but you hear the voice of someone saying they're being crushed.

The main character cuts his own hand with a razor, but it isn’t clear whether it is intentional, or if he is accidentally gripping the blade too hard.

It's assumed by the main character's behavior that he is psychologically disordered and he does commit acts of violence. Though no official diagnosis or mention of any mental illness is made.

Nothing explicit. A male and female are shown below deck of a sailboat and it's assumed they are having sex even though you only see their legs from the knees down and the woman's bikini bottom being slipped off over her feet.
