Review of On the Road (2012) by Benarden — 18 Jul 2014
Some of the cinematography is worthwhile, bits of acting are noteworthy but, in the end, it's a book you can't really make into a film.
What would be shocking and extraordinary in the late 50's now looks fairly tame and often sad. there is a lack of rhythm to the editing, too many unconnected ideas, big, sprawling and dull.
If they had tried for something smaller, maybe it might have worked.
