I didn't know the story that the film is based on is from Patricia Highsmith. It is in fact her second novel; the one she wrote just before "The Talented Mr. Ripley".
The film shows a lesbian love story, wonderfully acted by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara as leads. Cate's character is in a loveless marriage with a wealthy man, but has a young daughter, who the becomes the object of custody fight. Viewing the love start and build, at first sight, in the shop where Rooney's character works, is spellbinding.
The custody fight gets more heated and threatens the new relationship. The screenplay is very well done and camerawork is excellent.
