[Movie 46 / Day 28]
Biopic about Truman Capote writing his book, In Cold Blood. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Capote and does a damn good job of it – he’s a brilliant actor and deserves more leading roles.
The problem is, I didn’t really know much about Capote and the more I watched the film, the more I realised I don’t really care. It plods along at a very slow pace – it felt much, much longer than 2 hours. They probably could have cut half an hour out without damaging the storyline by judicious use of “one year later” type subtitles.
I’m sure if you’re a big fan of Capote and his book, you’d probably love this. I was just happy when the end credits rolled.
