CAPOTE, He Said: A-

Capote is a fine film, just not great. After months of hype, I knew going in that it would be difficult for the film to live up to my expectations. For the most part, I was impressed. The acting, as expected, was excellent. No question there. And the movie itself was quite good. It just wasn't as wonderful as everyone had raved about. Don't get me wrong - Capote stands head and shoulders above 95% of what's offered in theaters these days. But it was a "Oh that was good, I'll never see it again" type good. If you haven't seen it, go rent it. But I see no reason to own it on DVD. One viewing was enough for me.
