Capote
In November, 1959, the shocking murder of a smalltown Kansas family captures the imagination of Truman Capote (Philip Seymour Hoffman), famed author of Breakfast at Tiffany's. With his childhood friend Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), writer of the soon-to-be published To Kill a Mockingbird, Capote sets out to investigate, winning over the locals despite his flamboyant appearance and style. When he forms a bond with the killers and their execution date nears, the writing of "In Cold Blood," a book that will change the course of American literature, takes a drastic toll on Capote, changing him in ways he never imagined. Stellar performances from Hoffman and Keener, as well as Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation) are why critics are calling Capote a "must-see movie." more

The Bottom Line:Capote avoids the typical structure of a biopic and is all the better for it, eschewing formula to tell the story of one central episode in the main character's life; the film will be more interesting and accessible to...

- I learned something
This film makes clear the toll writing his masterpiece took on Capote, though I'm sure the facts are somewhat less stark. Still, great performance by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Great score, and the casting overall is excellent. This one is...

- Solid biopic
The only reason to make a film about someone as controversially repugnant as Truman Capote would be to illuminate his greatest quality- his superb prose writing. At his best, Capote was one of last century's greatest wordsmiths. Instead,...

- Great movie
In an age of movies that are loud, brash, violent and special FX laden I was so impressed to see a movie where I wanted to sit right up close to the TV to catch every word. They don't make any good thought provoking movies anymore but...

- A bad move.
I do not understand why this move received a lot of good reviews? I watched first "Infamous' move about T. Capote. It is much greater move than this. It balances out hrrible crime and Truman's life style and personality. I so much like...
