IF you are not a Capote fan- this crap is unwatchable.

Rating: 4/10 (23 January 2006)

While I must give honors to the lead for acting his character with due diligence and doing a hoffmanesque transformation, the movie itself is a DOG. This is the sort of movie no one really enjoys watching but everyone feels they are supposed to applaud and recommend because so much work obviously went into creating this.
Well- with all that work I wish they had covered some one more interesting and less annoyingly feminine. Capote's voice is an abrasive annoyance throughout and even though it seems historically accurate- it's a detail like snorting when you laugh- it's an annoying detail.
IF you are a Capote fan you will be enthralled I'm sure. Anyone else will be bored to death, annoyed by his wittle gay voice and wishing people would not continually applaud movies because everyone else told them to. This movie sucks- sorry. Possibly historically accurate, a fantastic performance by the lead actor and yet.. thoroughly not entertaining or interesting.
