Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013) by Leon B — 25 Apr 2014

Review:

I really struggled to enjoy this movie. There is quite a few storyline's going on at once and, to be honest, I did lose interest after a whole because of its slow pace, but once it get going it isn't totally bad. The other problem that I had with the movie was Daniel Radcliffe as the lead because he seemed pretty stiff and emotionless. All of the other actors, like Ben Foster, Michael C. Hall & Dane DeHaan, put in great performances which made the film enjoyable when the twists and turns take place. For a first time director, he done quite a good job with this true story, but I did struggle to stay awake through the whole movie. Watchable!

Round-Up:

I didn't really understand what the group of college students were trying to attempt with there poetry clan, which is why I only really concentrated on the ending. The person who really stood out for me was Ben Foster who is a drug taking student with millionaire parents. I still find it hard to take Daniel Radcliffe seriously after being the main character in the Harry Potter franchise. As I hadn't really heard of the movie before, I was surprised to see that the characters really existed and that the situation that they landed themselves into was a real case, which was shocking. Anyway, I don't think that this will change anyone's perception of Daniel Radcliffe's acting capabilities, but it's pretty average entertainment.

Budget: N/A.

Worldwide Gross: $1million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there college student dramas about a group of friends causing problems at school. 4/10.
