Why did they go ahead anyway? Did they believe that an immense Capote audience was hungering for two films about him?

All that was painted grey in Capote becomes black-and-white here.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

Two good films about one subject [are] much better than a lot of bad films about different things.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Jones gets everything -- the gestures, the generosity, the mean streak, the bending of the ear to recitals of woe, whether across a lunch table or a prison cell.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker

The problem with Infamous isn't that it revisits Capote's turf -- it's that it does the same things well, and leaves the same unsatisfying holes.
