Good as it gets

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2006)

This movie is pretty much flawless. Acting is incredible, especially Hoffman, and so is the script. I have read In Cold Blood three times and I was waiting to see if they would show the Cutter girl's diary and sure enough they did, what I really wanted to see was if the writing was done in different colored ink and yes it was. Some movies I see do not do enough research into the book that they are taking things from. If you are a fan of the book or interested in Capote at all; this is the movie for you.
As far as biographies go, this movie shows how it should be done. It is just a period from Truman Capote's life but it was the most creative period and I think the movie really showed an authentic slice of that time.
