Movie Review: Capote

I remember reading In Cold Blood in high school, which is part of what motivated me to watch this movie. I remember being intrigued, but not utterly gripped by the novel. Maybe I was too young.

And maybe I am too young now. The acting was superb, no doubt, but the speed of the movie was just way too slow for me. I felt like the first 75% was at 10mph, then 15% at 35mph and then, the last 10% about 25mph. I never felt enraptured by it.

Apparently, from the time the murders took place until the time Capote finished writing the book was about 6 years...which is how long the movie felt like.

2.5 stars.
