The Fort Worth-born author of 'Strangers on a Train' and 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' makes for a mercurial, fascinating subject in this documentary.

As for the film’s title? Loving Highsmith certainly wasn’t easy, though the former lovers assembled here very much loved her. “She had a strangeness,” says the writer Marijane Meeker, who met Highsmith in New York. “She was not a forward person at all.” “Loving Highsmith” takes a lyrical approach that includes frequent slow-motion forays to the Fort Worth Stockyards, where bronco riding and calf roping come to represent various moods and moments in Highsmith’s life. There’s plenty of home movie footage of Highsmith, often smoking, smiling when she lets her guard down.
