Bonus preview time again: for this special, spoiler-free episode as part of our TIFF 2026 coverage, we're joined by Joe Lipsett of Horror Queers to dig into A Talent for Murder. Directed by Anton Corbijn from Joanna Murray-Smith's own adaptation of her play Switzerland, the film imagines a fictional Patricia Highsmith (Helen Mirren, all barbed wit and Swiss seclusion) visited by a young literary agent, Edward Ridgeway (Alden Ehrenreich), sent to persuade her into writing one final Ripley novel... persuasion that curdles into something considerably more sinister. Olivia Cooke and Juliet Stevenson round out the cast. The film is due for release in US cinemas on 23 October, with reports pointing to a UK release on 20 November.
