Rating: 3/5 -- The elegance of the movie is that it's structured in such a smart way, emerging as neither a chummy fireside chat or a cartoonish war of words. Full Review

"An Intimate Conversation" never quite digs beyond the cultivated personas of either author - a drawback of the archival format. But for anyone invested in the writers, it offers a vivid sketch. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Truman & Tennessee is a fascinating but melancholy mash note to the enduring friendship of two genius misfits who, despite constant self doubt barely masked by a raconteur's seeming insouciance. Full Review

Watching this captivating film, especially during Pride month, one can't help but wonder how these outsized talents would have fared in a more open and embracing society - or would their demons have simply followed them into the 21st century? Full Review

Product Description:

Authors and contemporaries Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams spoke as dissident voices on the American literary stage, their unique artistic visions challenging the makeup of literary expression. An unorthodox dual portrait peels back the layers on the writers' personal and creative lives, offering a genuine, raw, and innovative insight into a critical moment in the development of America's literary narrative. Directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland.
