Joaquin U @Joaquin1 Jul 2 Entertaining, but you’ve got to be in the mood for drama. The story’s slow-cooked, anchored by Hoffman’s performance that earned him the Oscar, with a decent cast backing him up. The direction is competent and steady, letting the acting do the work. If you’re familiar with In Cold Blood, it lands even better. Not a great film overall, but the lead acting leaves a mark.

Clifton Collins, Jr., did not receive the same level of acclaim and that's a shame in my opinion. The scenes these two excellent actors shared are phenomenal. On top of that the story is top notch. See more Jace E @thefilmguy May 19 Philip Seymour Hoffman has an on-screen presence and deep voice that captivate me, no matter which film he's in. When "Capote" started and I first heard his voice, I was taken aback. I was honestly worried that the character he was playing was too different for me to enjoy. Boy, was I wrong. He crushes this role and carries the film on his back. As a whole, this movie is pretty good. The plot is straightforward and the performances are above-average. There are some strange cuts between scenes that left me wanting more. It felt as though I was watching the movie on cable and there were purposeful breaks for commercials. In the end, PSH did an amazing job and I enjoyed the film 90% because of him. Best Character: Truman Capote Best Quote: "It's as if Perry and I grew up in the same house. And one day he stood up and went out the back door, while I went out the front." - Truman Best Scene: Perry Describing the Killings Best Piece of Score: "Capote Suite" See more Griffith J @griffithxjohnson May 6 Definitely slow paced & slightly boring but the deep dive into the complex & layered mind of Truman Capote is very interesting with Hoffman bringing a truly unique & convincing performance. The look at American writing as it undergoes a massive change due to his work is an impactful piece of literary history. It’s bleak & sad as it faces tough questions about the death penalty & morality of true crime authors. Strange to say that the first half of this film has a really cosy tone as the time period is well presented. Capote’s troubled motivations & self centered ways show all his strangeness & historical points in very real ways. See more Ed B. @EdLee Feb 28 Capote , is a well acted movie starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman in title role. Its focus is during period of time when Capote wrote, In Cold Blood. Capote’s relationship with the murderers of the Clutter family in 1959, is intriguing to watch. Overall, Very dramatic and well acted movie. See more Mickey B. @Mickerdoo Feb 23 Hoffman is brilliantly unique in this character role. Wild magnetism and very conflicted. Interesting period for this to play out in. See more Read all reviews
