Infamous
Like seeing great actors perform a favorite Shakespeare play, a familiar story can be enriched when an exceptional cast and an insightful writer-director loose their talents on the material. So it is with Douglas McGrath's pitch-perfect rendering of the story of Truman Capote and the creation of In Cold Blood. British actor Toby Jones gives a star-making performance as the diminutive, distinctively voiced scribe; Sandra Bullock's Harper Lee is sublime. From moneyed Manhattan–personified with flamboyant hauteur in exquisite cameos by Sigourney Weaver, Hope Davis and Juliet Stevenson–Capote travels to Kansas to research the Clutter family murders. The deep conflict between his often manipulative efforts to create a masterful work of art and his growing love for one of the murderers, Perry Smith (Daniel Craig), make In Cold Blood the book that ultimately “both made him and ruined him.” All that, and a torch song by Gwyneth Paltrow. Divine. — J. Parsont
