Good!

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2006)

Good film! A little tedious at times, but still very much worth while! Once you get used to Hofmann's imitation of Capote's voice you even get to like it. Catherine Keener as Harper Lee does a wonderful job and her gaze is simply uplifting and warm. The story took its time, it developed its own pace, but the pace was at all times befitting for a movie like this. Chris Cooper is becoming one of my favorite actors, I like him more and more with every movie. The Oscar for Hoffmann is well deserved and I thought that he gives an accurate portrayal of the somewhat snobby Capote who despises most of the people because he is smarter than they are or because they are less literate than he is. The distance of Capote towards the two killers and his up close and personal relationship with Perry Smith towards the end of the movie come across very well. Once again, good movie, go and see it!
