What starts out as the humorous journey of the openly gay writer Truman Capote as he moves through the elegant circles of Manhattans sophisticated caf society, turns darker as he becomes increasingly consumed by a murder case.


Warner Independent was probably hoping Philip Seymour Hoffman's take on Truman's life Capote wouldn't get much attention. Unfortunately for them, it got a lot of awards attention and everyone knows there's already been a really good movie about Truman Capote. Do we need another? I say no. Capote's not an interesting enough figure to justify two movies, no matter how good this one is.
