Review of Infamous (2006) by Laura E — 29 Oct 2008
A moving love story that came out a little too late after 'Capote' to be properly noticed, despite having an amazing cast. Haven't seen 'Capote' so can't say which is better and how similar they are but really liked this film and was gripped.
All the performances are excellent (Sandra Bullock in particular surprises) but it is Jones and Craig that make the whole film really worthwhile. People said Craig was miscast but this was the sort of performance he used to do before he was pulled into the mainstream and he is is heartbreaking.
Toby Jones will be a newcomer to American audiences but is a revelation as Capote and this (along with his role in 'W') should make him a star. This film is a real pleasant surprise.
