Ripley critics claim Dakota Fanning 'can't compete with Gwyneth Paltrow' as she takes on the role of Marge Sherwood in Netflix adaptation
Netflix's Ripley has landed on the streaming service, with critics raving about the small-screen adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's 1955 crime novel.
However while the psychological thriller, which also stars Andrew Scott, has received mainly positive reviews, some critics claim Dakota Fanning can't quite compete with Gwyneth Paltrow's original performance in the 1999 movie The Talented Mr. Ripley. Reviewing the new series the Evening Standard's Anna Van Praagh wrote that Dakota'can’t compete for a second with Gwyneth’s Paltrow’s flawless Marge Sherwood, and Johnny Flynn is left dead on the side of the road compared to Jude Law ’s portrayal of Dickie Greenleaf, a character he inhabited perfectly.' 'Andrew Scott is a magnificent Tom Ripley, inhabiting that compellingly ambivalently malevolent outsider character so well... Dakota Fanning however can’t compete for a second with Gwyneth’s Paltrow’s flawless Marge Sherwood.'
