"Word on the set was that first time director John Krokidas was screaming at Daniel Radcliffe to kiss Dane DeHaan as though they were having crazy fucking monkey sex. And its this type of shit-slinging vivacity that makes Kill Your Darlings one of the best films of 2013 that nobody watched."
In Escape From Pretoria, Daniel Radcliffe plays Tim Jenkin, a real-life political prisoner who orchestrated a prison escape from Pretoria Central Prison in 1979, during the apartheid era in South Africa. It's another off-beat role in the eclectic post-Harry Potter career, which has seen Radcliffe take on a low-key public persona, with characters you wouldn't expect from the leading man of a billion-dollar franchise.
Have you wonder why he hasn't been in a blockbuster movie since Harry Potter?
WOW247 says: "If Radcliffe’s previous post-Potter performances had sent the door swinging shut on any wizardly residues, then here he firmly bolts it and throws away the key.
"It would be shame for the film’s coverage to focus on Radcliffe however, because there’s much more to Krokidas’ film; even if it’s ultimately unsatisfying as an account of the Beats’ genesis, it’s still a spirited stomp through a wild and dramatic story."
WGTC writes: Kill Your Darlings is nothing short of brilliant, defining a generation through the actions of one small, yet influential, group of literary warriors, and the unexpected turbulence they faced.
Has anybody else watched this? Opinions?
