Capote [2005] Movie Reviews on CinemaClock

This is the crap you get when an actor thinks he can write a screenplay. Add an amateur movie director and you have a boring, long, choppy over rated movie. It lacked flow and chemistry. Jumping on the coattails of a recent barrage of famous biographies coming from Hollywood, they seemed to have forgotten to try get a story. They try the story of a cold, heartless, manipulative, liar criminal who would do anything for money. And add a couple of murderers for him to feed from. It is difficult to feel for Capote and what became of him after seeing his conscious at its worst. I could see what they were trying to portray, but you just dont feel it. If you arent a cult member of In Cold Blood, I say stay away.

I'm reluctant to rate this movie so low because I believe that technically it probably should be classified as a "good movie" due to the quality of acting and filmaking... HOWEVER, it is just SO SLOW and boring that I need to flag it as such as a warning to people! Several people left the theatre when I was watching this film, and I was tempted myself several times... I was just so relieved when it was over! The acting is great, and I suppose if you are really into Truman Capote and "In Cold Blood" you might be entertained, but I think for the general public this movie is not going to be highly enjoyed. If you must try it wait till it comes on video so you can put it on pause and take a break from the boredom.

I had to see this movie before the Oscars. If PSH is going to walk off with best actor (and he seems to have it sewn up) I had to see the performance that would beat the sublime Heath Ledger. While this is certainly an impressive performance I found it very cold and almost clinical, perhaps that's just the way Capote was. This is a decent movie, nothing flashy here, it more or less tells a story from start to finish. The supporting cast is great. It's an interesting story, one that I wasn't familiar with and I think I may read Capote's book as a result. But all in all, it's a very conventional movie featuring some notable performances. Certainly you can wait for the DVD. The one thing that did impress itself upon me is that Truman Capote appears to have been a very selfish, calculating, and unpleasant man.
