Capote (2005) starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener. Hoffman won an Oscar for his turn in the title role, but otherwise this movie isn't an especial standout. It tells the story of Truman Capote's writing of his famous book, "In Cold Blood," and of what it costs him to write it. While the movie was intellectually engaging, I didn't find it especially moving emotionally. Neither Capote, nor the killers he writes about, elicit much sympathy. Capote's high, whiny voice, as portrayed by Hoffman, is just plain irritating. Grade: B
