Full Plot Details

On November 16, 1959, Truman Capote reads about the murder of a the Clutter family. There's no suspects. With Harper Lee, he visits the town: he wants to write about their response. First he must get locals to talk, then, he must gain access to the prisoners. One talks constantly; the other, Perry Smith, says little. Capote's implacable, believing this book will establish a new form of reportage: he must figure out what Perry wants. Their relationship becomes something more than writer and character: Perry killed in cold blood, the state will execute him in cold blood; does Capote get his story through cold calculation, or is there a price for him to pay?

Movie Reviews

Associated Press - 10/10 by Christy LemireWhen Infamous is on, it's really on. It's much more celebratory of Capote's unequaled, larger-than-life spirit, which can be a joy to watch.
Reel.com - 10/10 by Pam GradyCapote received many accolades; Infamous deserves many more.
Georgia Straight - 10/10 by Ken EisnerHeld back a year to allow Capote time to cool off, Infamous continues the Truman show by giving us a sharper, more elfin writer in his prime, and focusing more fully on his odd and ultimately wounding relationship with a convicted killer.
New Zealand Herald - 10/10 by Peter CalderIn 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.
MTV - 10/10 by Kurt LoderIt's a movie that deserves to be considered not just in comparison to the excellent "Capote," but on its own merits, which are substantial.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumThe added value that writer-director Douglas McGrath has in mind is gossip -- and a goggly interest in gossip becomes the glittering gimmick of Infamous.
Movie Reviews in Croatian - 9/10 by Victoria AlexanderAuthentic. Not the snotty, consumer version of Hoffman's "Capote."
Palo Alto Weekly - 9/10 by Jeanne AufmuthCunningly emphasizes the vast distinction between the idle rich and the drama's plainspoken wounded.
E! Online - 9/10 by Matt StevensIt's tough following Hoffman's Oscar-winning turn, but with his slight stature and fey manner, Jones makes quite a convincing Capote.
FilmStew.com - 9/10 by Brett BuckalewDaniel Craig's performance is of young-Brando intensity, and a Supporting Actor nomination would be this movie's most credible shot at duplicating Capote's Oscar glory.
