Critic Reviews
-
Stanley Kauffmann, New Republic
Why did they go ahead anyway? Did they believe that an immense Capote audience was hungering for two films about him?
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Two good films about one subject [are] much better than a lot of bad films about different things.
-
Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Jones gets everything -- the gestures, the generosity, the mean streak, the bending of the ear to recitals of woe, whether across a lunch table or a prison cell.
-
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
The film benefits from three splendid performances: Toby Jones as Capote, an aggressively gay elf exuding a tosspot charm; Sandra Bullock as Nelle Harper Lee, a novelist who uses spoken words with quiet precision, and Daniel Craig as Perry.

Claudia Puig, USA Today
It's a stellar cast, but you can't help but lament the bad timing.
