(1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 55% Rotten Page   1   "[Covering] the same period of the author's life as Bennett Miller's Capote..., Infamous is not only the more entertaining movie, it's the more sophisticated, and the more emotional, as well."   Blogcritics.org   Alan Dale "An explosively rich evocation of a twisted (or at least unhealthy) relationship. Capote would have probably called it suffering for his art."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij 3.5/4 "Infamous is a film about flashy facades and what lies beneath them."   Slant Magazine   Dan Callahan 2.5/4 "Infamous' powerhouse casting doesn't add much, since most of the big names -- Sigourney Weaver, Gwyneth Paltrow, Isabella Rossellini, Hope Davis, Juliet Stevenson, and director Peter Bogdanovich -- serve as little more than window dressing."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3/4 "Whereas Capote was cold and atmospheric and almost surgical in its storytelling, Infamous is told in a more accessible and emotionally gratifying manner."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/5 "Una aproximación más bien superficial y declamatoria a Truman Capote y su investigación previa a A Sangre Fría. En comparación, la versión de 2005 sale mucho mejor parada."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio C+ "even without comparisons to Capote, Infamous is not particularly good."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "Should have come first for it would have been a perfect example for screenwriting students to see the difference between a first draft and a finished product."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C "Capote Lite...a distant also-ran. With Miller's film still fresh in the memory, it pales into insignificance."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "Capote was at times cool and antiseptic, but Infamous is warmer and more emotionally satisfying."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "Cunningly emphasizes the vast distinction between the idle rich and the drama's plainspoken wounded."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "Infamous actually fixes what I didn't like about Capote, yet goes in a direction different from the one I did like in the other film."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Pity the poor filmmaker who gets there second."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox C- "comes across as a soulless extended sketch"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit 7/10 "...more direct, perhaps more revealing, and certainly more graphic than the earlier Capote film."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Toby Jones does a decent job as the famous writer, but offers little of the depth shown by Philip Seymour Hoffman."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2.5/5 "Not since Valmont followed on the heels of Dangerous Liaisons has there been such a fascinating compare/contrast double feature."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner C+ "...does have some things going for it, beginning with Sandra Bullock's terrific portrayal of "Mockingbird" author Harper Lee..."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "Both [films] feature a cast of characters who are truly stranger than fiction and raise questions about the packaging of real-life events that resonate more powerfully than ever in the infotainment age."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "Suffers from the recent and lingering memory of the superior Capote."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 5/10 "The film is as strangely unfocused as its title is. Several of the artistic decisions weaken the film. A good performance by Daniel Craig is perhaps the film's major asset."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "This is one of the best films of 2006 so far, and, ironic as it may sound, will be even better appreciated by those who also loved last year's film."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/5 "Revela-se não somente desonesto, como decepcionantemente repulsivo."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "A bristly, jazzy tone and a perceptive script that plays on the characters' flamboyance."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B- "Infamous is a fair telling of Capote's years of obsession over Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, his book and their fate."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "For this film, it's the little pleasures---such as scenes of Capote writing and pages from legal pads stacked in rows---rather than the overall feeling and being engaged by it the entire time, which is a bit hard to do."   Film Threat   Rory L. Aronsky 3.5/4 "A career-defining role for (Toby) Jones, one that will wither beneath the shadow of Philip Seymour Hoffman's Oscar-winning turn."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 8/10 "Coupled with "Capote," "Infamous" offers a unique opportunity to see the same background story interpreted by two disparate filmmakers."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 55% Rotten Page   1
