A stunning performance from Hoffman makes this one worth seeing. Even if the film's story gets bogged down at times, seeing an actor at the top of his game makes this one stand out.

Although I didn't really like the story much, Hoffman was mesmerizing as the strange and eccentric Capote.

A slow moving picture that has Hoffman at his best. The story is interesting, but not as good as In Cold Blood. Despite some interesting seens and a great performance from Hoffman, it can't be saved from pacing and the lack of plot.

Pjillip Seymour Hoffman's best effort. Outstanding

An excellent film. Every aspect of this film is masterful. Hoffman's performance as Capote is nothing short of brilliant, and all the supporting actors and actresses do an equally incredible job.

The film moves a little slow for the average moviegoer, but will capture the intrigue of cinephiles. From the stunning imagery, to the camera-work, to the superb acting and the wonderful plot and dialogue, this film captures the ego-maniacal essence of Truman Capote a...

They Were Wrong

"Capote" is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time. It showcases just how amazing Philip Seymour Hoffman is, as well as showing the brilliance of green director/writer Bennet Miller. Much better than "Infamous," this movie made me sob as well as prompted me to read the book "In Cold Blood" which was equally as fantastic. Highly recommended.
