- Synopsis
- On November 16, 1959, Truman Capote reads about the murder of a Kansas family. There are no suspects. With Harper Lee, he visits the town: he wants to write about their response. First he must get locals to talk, then, after arrests, he must gain access to the prisoners. One talks constantly; the other, Perry Smith, says little. Capote is implacable, wanting the story, believing this book will establish a new form of reportage: he must figure out what Perry wants. Their relationship becomes something more than writer and character: Perry killed in cold blood, the state will execute him in cold blood; does Capote get his story through cold calculation, or is there a price for him to pay?

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The pleasure of 'Infamous' is in its gallery of larger-than-life portrayals."
-
"British actor Toby Jones is so physically right in the role, you'll think Capote is playing himself."
-
"McGrath makes literal what the other movie only hinted at -- that Perry falls in love with Capote -- turning the relationship between author and subject into something far less complicated and more mundane."
-
"Though it's not as good as the brilliant 'Capote,' it's nevertheless a riveting, well-made picture."
-
"'Infamous' is the better Capote film, yes, but also the less easily digestible one, the more eccentric one and -- yes -- the gayer one."
