This movie is weird, I didnt know what to think of it. sure the acting is good, dare I say brilliant. But the story just felt like it was lacking a decent plot.

This movie sucks. I don’t understand the raving reviews. It’s all over the place, self indulgent, and boring. Well acted though

I feel like I’m the only one who thought his movie was all over the place. I think James Franco’s Howl did more justice to Ginsberg’s story than this remake of the Riot Club.

Wow. Way to go, Daniel Radcliffe.

Dark academia before dark academia was even a thing people talked about. The atmosphere is genuinely immersive - 1940s Columbia, jazz, rebellion, poetry as a weapon. You feel that world. But the film tries to carry too much at once. The identity crisis, the obsession, the murder - all fighting for space and none of them getting enough room to breathe fully. Dane DeHaan though. Absolutely magnetic. Every scene he's in has this dangerous, unpredictable pull that the rest of the film honestly doesn't match. "I don't want to be a genius. I want to be alive." - that line sits with you. Good film. Could've been a great one.
