Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Clint O'connor (453) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 14 Nov 2013

The ensemble generates a deep feeling for intelligence and weakness, gifting Kill Your Darlings moments of understanding, crisply tended to…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Marc Mohan (821) for Oregonian (1,550) on 12 Nov 2013

DeHaan, as Carr, and Radcliffe, as Ginsberg, shine in this compelling look at an unheralded but key figure in the origin of the Beats…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 09 Nov 2013

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 08 Nov 2013

You wouldn’t want Kill Your Darlings to be the only information you ever get about the Beats…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 08 Nov 2013

Kill Your Darlings is a tale of inspiration, then, but also a tale of jealousy, obsession, homophobia, and homicide. It's a whirlwind…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Jay Stone (286) for Canada.com (402) on 07 Nov 2013

The real star is DeHaan, whose shockingly blue eyes and Leonardo DiCaprio sex appeal smite all the men within range: he's pretty well the town flirt…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Linda Barnard (586) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 07 Nov 2013

A stylish-looking story that often presents the players as self-congratulating caricatures, overly proud of their own cleverness…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Rafer Guzman (1,080) for Newsday (2,345) on 07 Nov 2013

A lukewarm Radcliffe, plus a wandering script, make for a fair-to-middling movie, but the raw material of this dark corner of Beat history…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Geoff Pevere (572) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 07 Nov 2013

It adds nothing to our understanding of Howl, and the movie is exactly what the poem isn’t: ordinary…

By Jonathan Robbins (8) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 04 Nov 2013

A sometimes magical film that gives a palpable sense of the cultural currents and interpersonal dynamics that gave rise to the unlikely beginnings…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 01 Nov 2013

DeHaan is a marvel…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By David Kaplan (436) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 01 Nov 2013

Radcliffe is clearly the headliner in this cast, but it's an admirable acting tour de force by a solid ensemble group…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 31 Oct 2013

In this tale of longing, loss and regret, it isn’t always possible to know who’s deluding oneself, or someone else…

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 31 Oct 2013
