Phillip Seymour Hoffman Brings A Selfish & Obsessive Genius Back To Life For 2 Hours.

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2019)

The book 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote is a great true crime piece. Capote is obviously a great writer, and we don't often get such great writing in niche non-fiction genres. This film is about the making of the book, and since Capote was such an off-the-wall character, the right actor was needed to make this film work. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was that actor, and he made the film possible.
