The brilliant work, personal struggles, and cultural impact of iconic American writers Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams explodes onto the screen in this innovative dual-portrait doc narrated by actors Jim Parsons and Zachary Quinto. Filmmaker Lisa Immordino Vreeland masterfully intertwines a wealth of archival material with clips from some of the duo’s most memorable movie adaptions: A Streetcar Named Desire, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, In Cold Blood and more. Dripping with wit and wisdom, the film celebrates the fearless candour and sometimes tumultuous friendship of the titular writers through the ages, while honoring the way their queer identity informed their timeless achievements and relationships with their family, confidants, and—most significantly—each other.
