A big city socialite and raconteur meets the small town community reeling from the recent grizzly murders of a family of four in the dazzling and involving Infamous.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 26, 2022

The film's strongest performance, rather surprisingly, is by that soon to be Bond, Daniel Craig as Perry Smith.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 12, 2020

A scene where Jones' Truman beats Jeff Daniels' crime investigator Alvin Dewey at arm-wrestling, as he supposedly beat Bogart, is in itself almost worth the price of a ticket to Infamous.

Infamous is glorious.

| Nov 8, 2019

A film riddled with flaws that culminate in a disarmingly and surprisingly moving way.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 6, 2019

The diminutive Jones was born to play Capote and his inimitable interpretation of the writer is every bit as good as Hoffman's. Unfortunately the film contains an all-star cast of rare anaemia.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 3, 2018

There's a breeziness to the storytelling, one that delights in the tale rather than succumbing to its gravity-but that also works against it.

The other-and possibly greater-Capote pic about the geneiss of In Cold Blood

| Nov 19, 2013

Better than Capote

| Aug 28, 2009

This worthy second biopic of Truman Capote starts not with a bloodbath, but a cocktail.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 2, 2009

Toby Jones' uncanny portrayal of the short, effeminate writer with the funny voice, gives the film its credibility and compassion.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 24, 2009

Only Sandra Bullock shines as Harper Lee.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2009

Poor Toby Jones. In any other year, his work as Truman Capote would be in immediate awards contention.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 12, 2009

With dyed hair and tattoos, Craig nails the incredible complexity of a man who juggles gentleness with violence. The relationship between Capote and Perry is overtly moving and there was a big lump in my throat as the final chapters played out.

| Oct 18, 2008

Why not accept Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee? As it turns out, she's quietly terrific. Most of the supporting actors are.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Infamous doesn't feel like a remake. While it covers the same ground, the pitch is completely different. Where Capote was cool, distant and even antiseptic, Infamous is warmer and more emotionally fulfilling.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 28, 2008

Una aproximación más bien superficial y declamatoria a Truman Capote y su investigación previa a A Sangre Fría. En comparación, la versión de 2005 sale mucho mejor parada.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 29, 2007

In a solid, unshowy turn by Bullock, a very underrated actress, as Harper Lee (plainly a co-creator of the landmark book), and you have a compellingly watchable portrait of the artist as an emotional cripple. Not to be missed.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 1, 2007

To recreate the gossipy Manhattan arena that Capote navigated with such ease and documented with such malice, you need dialogue that rings like scatter-shot and the film's script, written by its director Douglas McGrath, doesn't have it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 2, 2007

Revela-se não somente desonesto, como decepcionantemente repulsivo.
