Reviews
|
The New York Times -
Mr. Krokidas deftly shows how the ambition to write is entangled with other impulses.
|
|
Film.com -
It transcends the usual biopic limitations to tell a specific story about some well-known people with larger, universal implications.
|
|
The Guardian -
Though it begins as a murder-mystery, Kill Your Darlings may be best described as an intellectual moral maze, a story perfectly of its time and yet one that still resonates today.
|
|
Variety -
Directed with an assured sense of style that pushes against the narrow confines of its admittedly fascinating story, John Krokidas’ first feature feels adventurous yet somewhat hemmed-in.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
There’s a limber, freewheeling aspect to the storytelling that echoes the rule-breaking literary form of the Beat writers.
