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.

Nicely tense and intriguing, packed with fine performances.

[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.

Tugs at the heartstrings, chills to the bone.

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.

Pity the poor filmmaker who gets there second.
