I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Awesome film - takes some getting used to - unless you find out that the portrayal of the early part if the film is true. Toby Jones was awesome and I comment the casting having scene what Truman looked like and knowing how awesome Jones is. The 'lesser parts' make for an awesome list and all were, as we expect, brilliant(Weaver, Paltrow, Stevenson, Davis, Bogdanovich and Rossellini). Brilliant and MADE the film as the lesser parts. Otherwise the main plot made no sense - essential to the film.A masterwork - screenplay, acting, directing and even the editing and cinematography.Well done indeed.

"Capote", the initial telling of Truman Capote's writing of In Cold Blood was released in 2005 and won Philip Seymour Hoffman an Oscar, plus received four other Oscar nominations. Yet, within a year another movie on the In Cold Blood story was released, "Infamous". What possessed the producers of the latter to make another movie on the subject, and so soon after the former, I do not know. Perhaps it was already in the works when Capote was released and they decided to push ahead anyway.This said, I enjoyed Infamous more than Capote. While good, Capote was cold, almost documentary-like. Infamous is warmer and more emotional. It vividly captures the relationship between Truman Capote and Perry Smith, one of the murderers. The execution scene is particularly harrowing. Plus it gives a more explicit indication of the effect that the writing of In Cold Blood, and its success, had on Capote. The character depth is greater in Infamous too, and not Capote's character. The New York social scene helps greater a wider breadth of characters, and proves much warmth to the story.Great performance by Toby Jones as Capote. Good support from Daniel Craig as Perry Smith, Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee and Jeff Daniels as the police chief. Some big names in minor roles too, and none of them disappoint: Sigourney Weaver, Peter Bagdanovich, Hope Davis, Isabella Rossellini and Gwyneth Paltrow.The definitive story of the writing of In Cold Blood, and its aftermath.

I'm confused to why WB felt they needed to re-make a movie about Truman Capote, that was so close to the "Capote" film, and a year later. I Loved "Capote" Because acting by Philippe Seymour Hoffman was Bar None, as Truman. People will want to compare two films that have exactly the same subject matter especially if both came out around the same time, individuals will also likely have a preference to whichever is their favorite. Capote, screenplay was outstanding as well as wonderfully cast. I love Toby Jones But INFAMOUS is interesting, But it really does have a movie-of-the-week quality to it, while I find "CAPOTE" to have a realistic feel to it...the acting, the screen play, and the quality of the filming."Enjoy"Bridgett Rowland Atlanta Ga

I guess it's indicative of the general craziness of the movie industry that two films about the same person came out within a year of each other. For my money, there's not much to choose between them, despite the fact that it was Philip Seymour Hoffman/'Capote' which grabbed the Oscar and most of the critical acclaim. However, it's Toby Jones who is - physically - Truman Capote, in so much as he's a tiny dynamo of a man, who flounces around Kansas in scarves and fur-collared coats but is able to needle the police detective at arm-wrestling. Jones is totally convincing. Less happily, Sandra Bullock is much too beautiful to mouse around small-town Holcomb as Capote's friend and fellow writer Harper Lee. This is also part of the problem with casting Daniel Craig as one of the murderers: he's too chiselled and not especially good at being a rodeo-riding American. Sigourney Weaver, Hope Davis and Gwyneth Paltrow excel as Capote's NY society friends and some of the best scenes in the film involve them in ensemble performances: cutting a rug at cocktail parties or testifying to camera about their friend's rise and fall, after his death. It's at these points that you remember that 'Infamous' is based on George Plimpton's book 'Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career', a collection of reminiscences about Capote.
