    Hoffman Embodies CAPOTE

    by lugubriousthespian

    Phillip Seymour Hoffman is nothing short of brilliant in this riveting account of Truman Capote and his life before and after writing his masterpiece IN COLD BLOOD. Brooding, introspective, and very cerebral is director Bennett Miller's take on the time and place of this fascinating true life tale. Excellent ensemble cast including Chris Cooper, Clifton Collins, Jr., and Catherine Keener as a Capote's good friend, (TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD novelist Harper Lee) supports Hoffman's bravura, Academy Award-winning performance exquisitely.
