Allen Ginsberg, Writing, New Vision/Beatnik, Coming of Age, 1945/WWII era
 
What a great film about growing up, being full of passion, breaking rules, and starting a revolution of thought. Terrific acting by Daniel Radcliffe and company. I was pleasantly surprised at how believable everything seemed. These are characters that are daunting to take on (brilliant job, Ben Foster!) and by centering the story around coming of age, it works.
