## Description

A murder in 1944 draws together the great poets of the beat generation: Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs.

Review: great film in every way, great details on the evolution of the early Beats, frightening reminder of my own collegiate past - I've been a big fan of The Beat Poets for a long time, have collected and studied their work, and have been especially interested in the biographies that come out occasionally as more information becomes available or someone comes up with a new point of view. I cannot tell you how much of the early history of The Beats gets pulled together for me in this film. Suddenly enigmatic toss-offs like "dropped out of Columbia after a couple of years and reunited with school mates later to become The Beats" are given real substance. Excellent script. Excellent acting. Excellent attention to all sorts of cinematic details that make the narrative flow smoothly from beginning to end. And, perhaps most telling, more interesting with each additional viewing. Perhaps most telling, for me, is the fact that this story reflects my personal experience in college. I knew young men and women who were as hell-bent on turning the world upside down, giving their pointless existence a real sense of purpose--however artificially manufactured in their minds from the remnants of thinkers of the past like Baudelaire and Yeats. And I was even involved in an obsessive relationship every bit as intense as that of David and Lucien but, quite by accident, without tragic results. So, I'm happy to find a great film that stands on its own, that pulls together details of the early history of The Beats, and that confirms that our collective paranoia so long ago was perfectly well founded--however different the outcome for us.
Review: WOW! - Being a fan of Daniel Radcliffe, I knew I was going to watch this movie when I first heard about it. Good, bad, or otherwise. I have to tell you, I was blown away. Stellar performances by Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan, and Michael C. Hall. Several things crossed my mind while I watched this movie. First and somewhat comical was a phrase by the Divine Miss M "People were doing it long before we ever thought about it." Odd thing to think about I know when watching a story about Allen Ginsberg, however, the debauchery and drug abuse that went on, I was like "wow". Second thing that crossed my mind was not one time while watching this movie did I not truly think that it was the 1940's. fascinating time for music, which by the way was great. Something that actually took me by surprise was that Allen Ginsberg was part of the same "rat pack" so to speak as Jack Kerouac, the man who wrote "On the Road", which by the way was an awesome story in it's own right. However, It did not occur to me that the Jack portrayed in the movie was the same man. Not until the very end of the movie was I enlightened to that fact. Another thing that, I will not say was a downer so to speak, and literally was just moments in the movie, was the judiciary view on homosexuality. I was like wow, really? your kidding me. Over all. A very well made movie. Fascinating story that held my interest. Stunning performances. Awesome recreation of the 1940's. Wonderful music. And if I failed to mention it, I really liked this movie. While not everyone will enjoy this movie as much as I did, I recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ realistic acting, great part of history
*by A***R on October 22, 2016*

Solid, greatly symbolic movie with phenomenal, realistic actors that really take their roles seriously. I think, to summarize the whole movie, a quote from Dane Dehaan, who plays Lucien: "This is a story that not many have heard but everyone should know about." It's a thorough story and gives people a deeper insight into the Beat writer's, pre-Beat writer era. Nonetheless, I cringe any time they describe Lucien and David's relationship more so as an "unrequited love", rather than a pedophile stalking a minor. Yes, this story is more leaning toward Allen Ginsberg's point-of-view, so certain characteristics of Lucien may have been altered, but mainly that's because Allen's diaries and journals gave more specifics and research-material than anything Lucien left behind. Overall ,this is a great movie and I am very glad to see it receive all the recognition it truly deserves.
