Hoffman Is Capote

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2005)

My daughter and I traveled for one and a half hours to view Capote because it is in limited release. I can only say that Capote is one of the best movies I have viewed in past 20 years. Character portrayals were excellent, though I would have liked to have seen more information concerning the Clutters and more information concerning Alvin Dewey and Richard Hickock. The movie was filmed in Canada but whomever picked the locations did an excellent job because the the area looked like that of Kansas. Harper Lee was a close friend of Capote and the movie made an attempt to show that. The only negative factor is the fact that Capote's homosexuality was not presented in too much detail, just hinted at. This movie is the one movie that you must see. I highly recommend Capote.
