No, no, no....This is NOT an In Cold Blood redux. This the story of how it came to be written, and the effect it had on Capote. The book destroyed him in many ways, as he never wrote another novel after this. - @Friday, February 22, 2008 2:39 PM

El actor que personificó a Perry Smith fué el de mejor actuación...mucho mejor que Seymour Hoffman. Y Catherine Keener está brillante en este filme. Saludos. - @Monday, January 7, 2008 6:53 PM

Agree with everyone else, P.S. Hoffman FULLY deserved (not to mention, long overdue) the Oscar, quite possibly one of the greatest actors ever, can proudly stand next to De Niro, Brando, Norton, - @Wednesday, November 7, 2007 8:43 AM

i don't really like the film very much and that was mainly due to facof capote's very annoying voice..omg..i don't think i've ever heard a more stupid voice in my life. yes i do know that the real capote spoke like that and i realise that he was gay as well...that doesn't bother me that he was gay..everyone has the right to like whatever they want...it's just that voice of his..oh that voice..he sounded like cartoon mouse begging for cheese..Oh God!!! - @Tuesday, June 26, 2007 4:06 AM
