Bennet Miller tells us a bed time story.

Rating: 7/10 (14 March 2016)

Bennet Miller has become one of my favourite directors of recent times. I have watched moneyball and foxcatcher before this and was completely engulfed in his story and characters. Capote somehow did not reach to me as the other films did.
Capote follows the story of Truman Capote who wants to write about the truth about the murder of a family. PSH delivers an amazing depiction of Capote (even though some said the accent was not precise), no doubt PSH is truly a master at his work. However, the story seemed to drag. I did not feel this push that Bennet Miller gave us in his later films, that would make want to watch more and more.
When I say, "Bennet Miller tells us a bed time story", I mean that in both a positive and negative way: great story, but kinna put me to sleep. I loved the story and was kind of interested throughout the movie. I also liked this love-hate-regret relationship Capote had with the killer. However, I did not feel this push that Bennet Miller gave us in his later films, that would make want to watch more and more. The film lacked character through cinematography and atmosphere, despite PSH and the other well acted characters.
BUT, i gave this a 7/10 cuz it is a must watch, mostly cuz of PSH and since this is a true story, a cool one at that. Sorry... "cool" is kinna insensitive.
