Not much more than a good performance.

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2016)

Capote is a performance powerhouse, yet it falls flat and average in other areas. Hoffman embodies the character of Truman Capote to the absolute fullest, it's really enjoyable to watch him act.
The plot is okay, I found that the plot kinda dawdles for a long time without really achieving all too much, but it's not bad. Everything else keeps the film together, nothing is bad but only boring which is a real shame.
I wanted to find something great in this, but it just never gripped me. It never reached a level which I was hoping it would. Hoffman and Keener were great together but there was no where near enough of them on screen together.
Sadly a great performance doesn't make a great film, Capote is slow and tedious and feels like a long novel itself, dragging from point to point.
