Infamous Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Kristin M. Jones
The other-and possibly greater-Capote pic about the geneiss of In Cold Blood
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
This worthy second biopic of Truman Capote starts not with a bloodbath, but a cocktail.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Why did they go ahead anyway? Did they believe that an immense Capote audience was hungering for two films about him?
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Infamous successfully captures a sense of the loneliness of a writer's life.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Two good films about one subject [are] much better than a lot of bad films about different things.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Jones gets everything -- the gestures, the generosity, the mean streak, the bending of the ear to recitals of woe, whether across a lunch table or a prison cell.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
As ambitious as it is, Infamous falters in execution too often to create a lasting impression.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Wittier, more descriptive and definitely more emotionally engaging than Futterman's, there's plenty here to cheer about.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
The problem with Infamous isn't that it revisits Capote's turf -- it's that it does the same things well, and leaves the same unsatisfying holes.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The film benefits from three splendid performances: Toby Jones as Capote, an aggressively gay elf exuding a tosspot charm; Sandra Bullock as Nelle Harper Lee, a novelist who uses spoken words with quiet precision, and Daniel Craig as Perry.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
It's a stellar cast, but you can't help but lament the bad timing.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Infamous is quietly stolen by Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
[With Hoffman], it was easy to see Capote as someone truly extraordinary, perhaps a genius. Toby Jones... doesn't have that quality, though he does offer something almost as good: Watching him it's easy to believe he's really Truman Capote.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Jones wears the title role so well that you simply forget he's acting, which wasn't true of Philip Seymour Hoffman last year when he gave a performance that deserved its Oscar. If Jones fails to pick up an Oscar nomination, he should pitch a hissy.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
British actor Toby Jones is so physically right in the role, you'll think Capote is playing himself.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
When Infamous is on, it's really on. It's much more celebratory of Capote's unequaled, larger-than-life spirit, which can be a joy to watch.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Infamous is a well-made movie about a fascinating character, and if it weren't essentially a repeat of last year's Capote it would likely be one of the hot flicks in filmdom right now.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
McGrath focuses on Capote's own divided soul, where massive insecurity co-exists with great courage.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Infamous is one of the funniest sad movies in recent memory.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
What begins as a mischievous frolic gradually becomes a sad tale about a sad man.
