3.5 out of 5

4 out of 5

Key Performances:

  Bob Balaban
  Clifton Collins Jr.
  Chris Cooper
  Philip Seymour Hoffman
  Catherine Keener
Movie Haiku:Fact-based story about the creation of Truman Capote’s ground-breaking non-fiction masterwork IN COLD BLOOD. Hoffman gives a brilliant performance, ably counter-pointed by Keener as his childhood friend Harper Lee (simultaneously publishing TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD). Rich was thoroughly engrossed thru-out, but Jan found it a bit too chilly & precise.
