Review of Infamous

Infamous (2006)
6/10
Better than Capote
3 March 2007
How unfortunate is it that two films come out about the same time telling the same story. If this film had been released before Capte, I am certain that it would have won all the awards it richly deserved.

Toby Jones was magnificent as Truman Capote. Sandra Bullock did her best work since Crash. I am glad that I have not seen Casino Royale yet, as it might have ruined the part Daniel Craig played as the killer, Perry. I even forgive Jeff Daniels for The Squid and the Whale. He was great as the District Attorney.

Infamous played much lighter than Capote in its setting in New York society, and it really focused on the agony that Perry was going through. One can understand from this film why Capote never wrote another novel.
