    Loved this under-the-radar movie. I was glad it highlighted the relatively "unseen" woman who was an influential figure in beat poetry - rather than focusing on the men we only hear about. Beautiful visuals, well acted, good dialogue. And my favorite - Courtney Love!

    Kiefer is the only reason to watch this and that's because he's Kiefer. There's nothing else. Yes, I'm not familiar with Burroughs but this movie did not raise any interest on him whatsoever. No wonder I've never heard of this film before.

    An interesting story. Kiefer Sutherland is pretty creepy in this and Courtney Love does a terrific job. Norman Reedus is perfect as usual.

    The true story of lesser-known Beat Generation figure Lucien Carr, who was responsible for introducing Alan Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs to each other during their post-war student days at Columbia University. Carr later became involved with Joan Burroughs, a wild-living Columbia journalism student and William's eventual wife, whose accidental death in Mexico City in 1951 haunted the literary-icon-to-be Burroughs for the rest of his life.
