Reviews for this film from our members:
- Chris Barsanti @ Film Racket
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: Rather than exploring how this violent event both catalyzed and shattered a soon-to-be influential movement in its infancy, Kill Your Darlings ultimately takes the shape of a sordid crime fiction (true though it may be) with famous names plugged in, like a down-market League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: If anyone’s doubted Radcliffe’s ability to move into adult roles and leave Harry Potter behind him, this should convince.
- Glenn Dunks @ Glenn Dunks Writing
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Subversively stylish and seedy….
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: The genuine revelation here is Dane DeHaan who embodies cool rabble-rousing student Lucien Carr with verve and style. He blithely rejects the writing conventions of the day with a disrespectful air that is cheeky.
- Travis Hopson @ Punch Drunk Critics
- Excerpt: Even if it’s not as revelatory or insightful as one might hope, it’s still a compelling tale of the influences that shaped our most consequential writers of the 20th century.
- [New – 12/13/13] | Blake Howard @ Graffiti with Punctuation
- Excerpt: Kill Your Darlings weaved the mythical origins of the beat generation into a fiercely engaging drama about finding yourself amidst crises of identity, sexuality and art.

- Excerpt: An overmatched star and a scarcity of eccentricity sink this hip-lit origin story from director John Krokidas.
