Reviews


90
The New York Times - A.O. Scott
Mr. Krokidas deftly shows how the ambition to write is entangled with other impulses.
87
Film.com - Jordan Hoffman
It transcends the usual biopic limitations to tell a specific story about some well-known people with larger, universal implications.
80
The Guardian - Damon Wise
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.
70
Variety - Justin Chang
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.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
There’s a limber, freewheeling aspect to the storytelling that echoes the rule-breaking literary form of the Beat writers.
