First a word of warning for those interested in a bright, perky movie: This film is not for you. For those interested in a stylish, masterful, rather dark yet sublimely humorous film about Capote and the true crime genre he spawned,... Full review

It was most pleasant to watch intelligent actors make subtle choices about their characters and then place those choices in the background. How many portrayals of gay men have we seen where they are humorously effeminate and that is pretty much... Full review

Other than Hoffman's performance, I wasn't impressed. I haven't seen any footage of the actual Capote, so I'll just assume that his performance is spot on. That voice really got on my nerves, though. The rest of the film really never... Full review

This was an awesome movie. It was good because the acting was great,and there was a very good story. It makes you feel very bad for the bad guy and for Truman Capote. The only bad thing is that Capote's voice... Full review

What a great film.
We see how easily Capote won over just about everyone, by noticing what drives them, and offering it up to them on silver platters.
We see Capote wasn't above dropping a few celebrity friends' names when necessary.
