"Hoffman's portrayal of the petite yet outsize Truman Capote...is impeccable -- it's bound for awards..."Entertainment Weekly "[A] fascinating and fine-grained reconstruction....Not only does Mr. Hoffman achieve an impressive physical and vocal transformation...but he also conveys, with clarity and subtlety, the complexities of Capote's temperament."New York Times 5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he movie steers its own delicate course through the ethical minefields of 'faction' with consummate skill....It's Hoffman's film -- a tour de force..."Uncut "Hoffman's unmissable and unforgettable performance as Truman Capote should make him the frontrunner for every Best Actor prize in the book."Rolling Stone "[I]t's a stark, complex and ultimately stunning examination of a man who exploited others for professional gain and the emotional price he paid."Movieline's Hollywood Life 4 stars out of 5 -- "Beautifully shot and flawlessly acted; this captures the essence of the iconic novel and also brings a lingering poignancy to a portrait of a man as troubled and haunted as the novel's subjects."Ultimate DVD "[R]apt, absorbing and thrillingly perceptive....CAPOTE honors its subject by doing just what Truman Capote did. It teases, fascinates, and haunts." -- Grade: A-Entertainment Weekly "The complexity of a gifted author, as well as his self-aggrandizing nature, are what the film focuses on. Hoffman delivers a thrilling and profound Oscar-caliber performance that will haunt viewers well after the movie is over."USA Today 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Catherine Keener is remarkably subtle and soulful as Capote's friend and helpmeet Harper Lee."Premiere "Philip Seymour Hoffman is in complete control of his effects....The Oscar-worthy achievement is really the voice..."Sight and Sound 4 stars out of 5 -- "[Miller] deserves much credit for his sedate, seemingly effortless direction and beautifully composed style."Total Film "Ms. Keener's quiet austerity provides a counterbalance to Mr. Hoffman's brilliance."Wall Street Journal20.79833
