Reviews
Una aproximación más bien superficial y declamatoria a Truman Capote y su investigación previa a A Sangre Fría. En comparación, la versión de 2005 sale mucho mejor parada.
Revela-se não somente desonesto, como decepcionantemente repulsivo.
"About cold blooded media seduction, and an ironic reflection of how class differences in this country seal the opposing fates of individuals."
The triad of performances by Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock and Daniel Craig keep it on its feet, but after a certain point it's stumbling aimlessly.
For this film, it's the little pleasures---such as scenes of Capote writing and pages from legal pads stacked in rows---rather than the overall feeling and being engaged by it the entire time, which is a bit hard to do.
Often confronts a far-from-light subject, but its glamorous characters and occasional levity are fun.
Suffers from the recent and lingering memory of the superior Capote.
...more direct, perhaps more revealing, and certainly more graphic than the earlier Capote film.
On its own terms, this is an elegant, stimulating homage to a singular talent. Compared to Capote, though, it can’t help but feel wanting.
A strange one this - Capote is a superior picture but Toby Jones is the superior Capote.
[Toby Jones] perfectly captured the voice, the mannerisms and the presence of the author in a richer and deeper manner than I felt Hoffman had in CAPOTE.
While less beguiling than Capote, Infamous remains a soulful and searching portrayal of the writer, carried with immense charm and vivacity by its leading man.
Last year, in my review of "Capote," I boldly declared that Philip Seymour Hoffman would win the Oscar. He did. I'm not going to make that same claim for Jones...Instead I'll keep my fingers crossed that come nomination day Jones' name is called.
[Covering] the same period of the author's life as Bennett Miller's Capote..., Infamous is not only the more entertaining movie, it's the more sophisticated, and the more emotional, as well.
