Truman Capote's Vision Comes to Life...Exquisitely!
24 April 2005
A wonderful adaptation of a favorite book. The casting is fun and unexpected and once you see the film it is hard to imagine anyone else in the roles - they just ARE the characters.

The style and tone of the directing are pitch-perfect. The period and setting were captured in every detail. The cinematography looks like a painting and the score is hauntingly beautiful.

The exquisite performances make you forget you are watching world class famous stars. They just crawl inside the skin of the characters and bring them to life. Mr. Capote would have loved it.

The movie made me laugh and made me cry. I wish the DVD had deleted scenes and extras because I was left wanting more.

I am off to buy the soundtrack.
