(Spoilers) Here is a comparative link review...

... that cites the "Capote" film as better than "Infamous" - which like some persons here, I don't necessarily concur with.
In "Infamous" actor Toby Jones' NY NY gay gadfly style and wit are spot on, even though I consider P.S. Hoffman an actors' actor. The vibe in "Infamous" is New York City. "Infamous" reveals the "fame bug" for what it is and the gravity of Truman Capote's personal realization without excuses. I liked that, and feel that in "Capote" the angst and betrayal were rather somewhat micro managed(?).
That said, for me the exceptional dynamic in "Capote" was with his female friend/writer Nell Harper Lee, the writer of "To kill a Mockingbird". Here you witness the genius of two ambitions - one trying to create a new literary form, and the other an upcoming woman whose work will be accepted as serious American literature made into film. "Capote" captures an unique long term professional friendship and chemistry. "Capote" also spells out more prison/relationship details - iir.
Both merit watching, and either would make a GREAT double feature with "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
