Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013) by Dalton V — 11 Jun 2014
Kill Your Darlings is a biopic about the early part of the famed poet Allen Ginsberg. The movie done boast of great performances. But it really took me a while to get into the characters personalities, especially in the case of Daniel Radcliffe and Michael C Hall. However once you get into the feel of the movie, it really does manage to get very interesting to see how the ending pans out, which they show in the beginning by the way. I must say the chemistry between DeHaan and Radcliffe is great and helps in the movie experience.
The biggest reason I loved the movie is how they kept pulling away from the regular filmmaking formulae seen in similar movie and keep the surprises rolling in constantly. The editing I must say is incredible.
One other weird coincidence I found was how David Cross plays Alan Ginsberg for a period in the Bob Dylan biopic 'I'm Not There' and here he plays the father.Not a big deal but just interesting.
