CGiii Comment
The voice-over, in a Capote-like voice is excruciating...that whining drawl will send shivers down your spine.
There are some particularly dodgy performances - unforgivable.
As for the writing...here lies a true mutilation of Capote's work...by Flanigan.
With all these faults, this is neither engaging nor enjoyable.
It comes across as a poofy To Kill a Mockingbird - which is just too hideous to imagine.
Stay well clear.
