many people said this was a great movie with hoffman delivering a great performance. i went from suspended disbelief and to fidgety boredom and to almost walking out. there is no there there. hoffman does go all out. he is committed to the performance. but sometimes him playing an affected man looks just like affected actor chewing on the scenery. no characters in the movie other than capote are much more than placeholders  nell and jack and perry and shawn and the sheriff are all one dimensional. yes the film shows the manipulative and preening and dishonest sides of capote. it shows them so many times i started to wonder why  do the filmmakers think we need to have everything spelled out. and again. and again. it refers often to capote genius but does not show it. it shows him surrounded by fans and flatterers but never convinces us why. but my goal is not to deconstruct the film. i am sure others will have other interpretations. for me and this was a two hour movie that felt like five.
