It's somewhat good acting with great backstory but this film fails to capture the true spirit of beatnik crowd. I think it's also pretty hard to capture poetry in a movie in a non-nonchalant way, more so when dealing with students. The movie is a shadow of what could have been. But I support it nevertheless - I wouldn't miss a film about Ginsberg, Kerouac, Burroughs...

I personally think it’s a fine film, and I had fun for its entire run time. Sure, it probably could’ve been deeper, told the story more factually, or been an informative documentary. I suppose some of the criticism is understandable, but really, it’s an enjoyable film with a good (true) story.

A very decent movie, I like these stories about historic figures, I think they make you want to know more about the real story. I can't point what I really didn't like about it, probably was that some acting was very weak and the flow of the story wasn't so good.

The initial drug-fueled literary rebellion premise here feels contrived; edgy editing and intense performances make it interesting but fail to give it weight. It's only as it is put aside in favour of developing the fascinating characters and their twisted relationships that the film gains any traction, with deep-seeded obsession, murder, love, and lust anchoring the film's passionate first act. Radcliffe is only mediocre but DeHaan's incredible turn yanks him along in this startling drama.

I might have dodged the emotional punches in the movie, due to my relative ignorance of beat revolution. I really enjoyed the depiction of Burroughs. Lucien Carr, as the beautiful, untalented, conniving jerk for some reason every art movement needs , was an interesting character too. One weird thing about the movie: All characters had some signature series/movie characters, so at times I was like: "Oh no, he killed Dexter", "OMG, he is f*cking Harry Potter!!!"; that was a bit disconcerting.
