Can't say I got a lot from this. The man was unknown to me, and so had no resonance for me, I therefore had to take the film at face value bringing nothing to it.The film tells of the researching and writing of his one famous novel, and the book that seemed to break him. He is played as effete - an interpretation that is borne out by some historic footage in the extras. Of more interest to me was the partnership with Harper Lee, whether this was consummated looks doubtful in the film.
As I love 'To Kill a Mockingbird' I did a bit of digging following the film and found that Lee lived next to Capote when growing up and based the character of Dill on him.
My problem with Capote is that I did not empathise with him. As events moved forward and he started to implode I just saw him as human leech and voyeur.
One I hired and won't be buying.
