Reviews for In Cold Blood
Excellent quasidocumentary, which sends shivers down the spine while moving the viewer to ponder.

Top CriticAn uneasy mixture of facile Freudianism and 40s expressionism.
01/01/00
Brooks' great achievement in the film is to portray Smith and Hickock as the unexceptional, dim-witted, morally adrift losers they were.
06/18/02
Top Critic...worth catching both for its inherent qualities and as a snapshot of Hollywood in transition.
03/09/06
Severely overrated and terribly long.
07/25/04
Troubling tabloid headline story that already got the full art treatment from Capote.
02/25/08
A probing, sensitive, tasteful, balanced and suspenseful documentary-drama.
04/08/08
Top CriticHall's bleak vision, his gift for working with darkness and rain, rivals classic film noir of the 1940s and '50s in its visual mastery.
03/02/06
Top CriticIn contrast to Capote, whose obsessive documentation of the pair's every act betrays his fear than he (and his readers) could well do something similar, Brooks explains and sympathises away their act as being unique to them.
02/09/06
Exquisitely photographed in wide-screen black-and-white by Conrad Hall.

This movie is so good I moved to Kansas!

Adaptação impecável do clássico de Capote, é um filme psicologicamente denso, soberbamente montado e dirigido e que traz Blake e Wilson em atuações inesquecíveis.
