Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Konterr Brilliant and touching

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

richardmeadfsu Short and sweet: Capote is a stark and perfectly visualized work that highlights film's most underrated actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman, in all of his character-actor glory.I love this film for two reasons mainly: Hoffman's literally perfect performance in his portrayal of a complex journalist, Truman Capote, and the (also) perfect cinematography and editing. This is a bleak and mature picture that takes its audience as smart individuals who can make decisions on their opinion on characters by themselves. Each actor gives a very human performance, which is refreshing.The only thing that stops this from being a 10/10 is it does tend to drag a bit in certain spots, and I believe a good 15 minutes could have been trimmed from the run time. But, in the same breathe, I can see others defending that the extra time (used primarily to show Capote's personal life) lends to character depth.All in all, great film that primarily services the film snob, which is OK with me.

Matt McCann As I scroll through the other user reviews what I notice is that the ones that disliked the film all claim that it was "boring". That's fair, if you haven't read 'In Cold Blood', I suppose. The first time I watched this, I fell asleep during it because I was just unable to follow. But then I read the book, one that is considered a great piece of American literature. Watching the film a second time was a much different experience. I hung on every word that Capote had to say in wonder and excitement. The way the film depicts Capote's process as he does his work and how he relates to Perry, it's truly fascinating. This film has provided me with further appreciation for the novel 'In Cold Blood' as it reveals insightful details about Capotes point of view regarding the true story. I recommend this film to everyone who has read 'In Cold Blood'. I would also encourage those who found it boring to watch the film again after first reading the novel the film is about.

bowofdeath Why are otherwise brilliant filmmakers/star actors/etc. so oblivious to the situation being at least partly of their own making that they complain on DVD extras about freezing to death in some unheated building while filming in CANADA as a substitute for events set in USA. Small price for you to pay for taking our jobs away to get the extra tax credits.Other industries like lumber, another Canadian government subsidized industry, are still often protected by tariffs despite trade agreements, if it is determined they are government subsidized. Because of Hollywood bashing by Republicans it is not PC to protect Movie industry jobs in USA. I am not any happier about other states in USA doing same thing, but I have yet to hear anyone complain it is too cold in Georgia, North Carolina or Louisiana. If I hear that complaint in a DVD extra you will be the first to know, right after Hell freezes over.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen I still had the notion that it wasn't just a film you saw, you had to have time to reflect and understand it, and maybe that was what didn't fit in for me when I saw it.The movie is good, and the acting very real and surreal at times, I didn't know much about this Truman Capote and that was a mistake, you have to have some knowledge about this character, his life, his journalism and books, otherwise the movie doesn't give you all that you properly would like to know about both the incident, but also about Mr. Capote.The Plot of this film, as real as it may bee, is a long one, I knew it was a drama and Biography but mostly they are spiced up a bit for the movie viewers sake, I don't believe this was, this is the actual events (more or less), and that makes it an interesting movie, but also a long and very describing movie. It is however definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it, but you have to like these kind of Biographies.
