The Source Reviews
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Yet another mediocre film salvaged by Depp's performance
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
this documentary may inspire a few other souls to strike out on their own and not be 'intimidated by a bunch of jerks who don't know anything about life.'
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
A compact but accomplished work focusing on the holy trinity of the Beats: Jack Kerouac, Allan Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A creative documentary which pays tribute to the crazy wisdom of three Beat Generation artists.
Matinee Magazine
Chuck Rudolph
Watching it feels like whiplash, and afterwards it doesn't feel like you've benefited at all from sitting through it.
Film Journal International
David Noh
It is absolutely fascinating to see the real Kerouac here; caught on film, he is every bit as communicative, earthy and irresistibly hunky as one might have dreamt.
