“A fine balance of emotional and intellectual curiosity”
The Hollywood Reporter

“Does a great service not only to fans of Highsmith’s, but to all of queer history”
IndieWire

Patricia Highsmith, acclaimed author of works such as Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley, lived a private life away from the spotlight, until now. For the first time, Highsmith’s diaries are narrated in the documentary LOVING HIGHSMITH, which uses a combination of archival footage, dramatizations, and interviews to tell the deeply complicated story of the iconic queer writer’s romantic life in a time of secretiveness and shame.
