Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013) by Intuciic . — 12 Jun 2014

I kid you not I went straight to the library and picked up as much Ginsberg, Kerouac, and Burroughs as was available to me - it's been years since On the Road and I haven't read a lot of the others. This movie is awesome. It's like the Dead Poets Society for radicals - and then one of the group does end up dead. It's not a mystery so much as a tale of, as the cover says, obsession. Allen is taken with Lucien, Lucien is better at making people extraordinary than being so himself (and it making said extraordinary people do things for him).

The period is done well, the acting is superb. If the Beat poets are your thing you are in for a treat here.
