If this comes to a theatre near you -- don't miss it. What a great movie. The acting was unbelievable, definitely oscar candidate

Maris, I put a post about this in the "under the radar" movies thread. I totally agree with you.

I can't wait to see this. Capote acted a twit/ all his life, but I loved him. I heard Hoffman is spectacular - movie is a must see for me.

Saw it. Agree with the comments above. Now the down side. It didn't make me like Capote. I think that's my problem with movies. I have to like the main character and the movie has to be about good over evil. That limits me.

I didn't like Capote. Sure, a great writer, but what an egotistical A-hole.

I learned that he never wrote another book again after this, his masterpiece, about a brutal quadruple homicide. I'm sure it was a great book. I know I saw the movie way back with Robert Blake as the bad guy. Still, I rather have been Harper Lee and having wrote To Kill A Mockingbird. I'd be more proud of that? Did she ever write anything before or after that masterpiece????

I think I read that To Kill a Mockingbird was Harper Lee's one and only book. Also, there was speculation that Truman Capote's was the ghost writer of that book because he had written several successful books and Harper Lee didn't have any other books to prove her talent and that Mockingbird wasn't a fluke.

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen; top five. I saw it two weeks ago and I highly recommend it as well. Hoffman is outstanding; almost like he transforms himself into Capote. The movie is very nuanced, and no, there is no good vs evil; frankly, life just isn't like that.

I also highly recommend the book, In Cold Blood. Capote really did write one of the best best books of the twentieth century.

I saw this last night, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hoffman was AS USUAL, amazing. I think he is the next Tom Hanks. What a brilliant actor.

I think that even though you knew Truman was an egomaniac, you sort still pulled for the two guys to get the death sentence, so that he could finish the book.
