The Capote Tapes is well-constructed and starry.

Through the director's sensitive rendering, Tapes gets at the weight Capote felt in existing in an era where he had to play a court jester and adds insight into his life, defiant final act, and downfall.

It's entertaining... but I don't know that it's all that revelatory.

The mystery of Capotes final novel leads to even greater enigmas about the man himself in this intriguing and entertaining film.
