Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013) by Tvjerry — 16 Dec 2013
When Alan Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliffe) was a freshman at Columbia University, he made three writer pals (Lucien Carr, William S. Burroughs & Jack Kerouac) who would be the foundation of the Beat revolution.
This isn't just about their seminal relationships (and Ginsberg's sexual awakening), but about the lethal act that caused a major fissure in their lives. Radcliffe does an impressive job, but all of the performances and the spirited pacing keep this freewheeling story interesting.
While it's not a great film, it's the best I've seen on this subject and a cursory, yet fascinating glimpse into some complex relationships.
