| Nov 4, 2021

If you arrived too late on the planet to have been enamored by Capote's antics - he did die in 1984 after all - fear not. The joy he wrought and the outrage he often elicited is captured in Ebs Burnough's deliciously wry new documentary.

It's entertaining... but I don't know that it's all that revelatory.
