"It gives the fascinating history of how the book came to be, which involved Truman Capote, a perceptive editor and an act of generosity that helped give Ms. Lee, the novel’s author, the time she needed to write.

The film’s best moments come from other authors—Wally Lamb and Allan Gurganus are particularly eloquent—who read passages from the novel and talk about the book’s impact on them and their writing."
