Howl

It looks good - the animation is professional and includes unnecessarily well-hung characters.

The actors all deliver - Franco, at times, a little weak.

As to the poem - it's subjective.

Crap or genius? It doesn't really matter - it's about free speech, freedom to write...the American Lady Chatterley.

Is it enough to keep the viewer interested? No, it's not - the constant repetition is frustrating.

There is enough material so why bother repeating the same thing over and over again...oh not that line again.

Ultimately, it is rather dull...monotonous and, regrettably, uninsightful.

Those who know nothing of Ginsberg will think he was a young, troubled man who wrote a quirky poem with dirty words and got himself into a whole lot of trouble.

Actually, he didn't, his publisher did...by printing it.

Ginsberg did not appear at the trial - an act of indescribable selfishness - please publish my poem...a stab in the publishers back.

It is an introduction to Ginsberg and to that movement that liked beating on and on...important to a select few then - but, alas, not now.

Sorry, but that is the truth - all gone...the dust lies thick on the jackets.
