Consensus: Though comparisons with last year's Capote may be inevitable, Infamous takes a different angle in its depiction of the author, and stands up well enough on its own.

Infamous doesn't feel like a remake. While it covers the same ground, the pitch is completely different. Where Capote was cool, distant and even antiseptic, Infamous is warmer and more emotionally fulfilling.

Una aproximación más bien superficial y declamatoria a Truman Capote y su investigación previa a A Sangre Fría. En comparación, la versión de 2005 sale mucho mejor parada.

"About cold blooded media seduction, and an ironic reflection of how class differences in this country seal the opposing fates of individuals."
04/21/07
The triad of performances by Toby Jones, Sandra Bullock and Daniel Craig keep it on its feet, but after a certain point it's stumbling aimlessly.
03/15/07
For this film, it's the little pleasures---such as scenes of Capote writing and pages from legal pads stacked in rows---rather than the overall feeling and being engaged by it the entire time, which is a bit hard to do.
03/02/07
Often confronts a far-from-light subject, but its glamorous characters and occasional levity are fun.
03/01/07
...more direct, perhaps more revealing, and certainly more graphic than the earlier Capote film.

Top Critic On its own terms, this is an elegant, stimulating homage to a singular talent. Compared to Capote, though, it can’t help but feel wanting.

A strange one this - Capote is a superior picture but Toby Jones is the superior Capote.
01/15/07
[Toby Jones] perfectly captured the voice, the mannerisms and the presence of the author in a richer and deeper manner than I felt Hoffman had in CAPOTE.
01/11/07
While less beguiling than Capote, Infamous remains a soulful and searching portrayal of the writer, carried with immense charm and vivacity by its leading man.
