Capote

It took quite a while but I finally got around to watching Capote. I can definitely see why this movie reaped all the awards and nominations it did. Shot on a paultry $7,000,000 budget, this flick was worth every cent and then some.

Philip Seymour Hoffman did an outstanding job portraying the massively eccentric Truman Capote. For the first half hour or so, I was so put off by his voice and demeaner that I almost hit the stop button, but I then found myself so enthralled that I couldn't step away.

The supporting cast was outstanding. I am growing more and more respect for Catherine Keener every time I see her in a new film (which seems to be growing more and more often as of late). Everyone else did their jobs excellently.

The director, Bennett Miller did a wonderful job of putting together this movie. Which is surprising, because the only thing he'd ever directed before was a $140,000 documentary.

If you haven't already, you have to check out this film.
