not great but not bad...

I found it of interest, particularly as I have read all of these peoples' work, and have read of their lives as well.

As a kind of origin story of the Beat Generation, this is not far from factual. I found it interesting to see the young Ginsberg and Carr portrayed, and I thought the performances were OK, particularly Ginsberg.

There were some appalling choices made- particularly the very 2010s alt-rock song played during the library caper. That certainly pulls the viewer right out of the 1940s for no apparent reason.

It is kind of a Reader's Digest condensed Beat Generation, but I enjoyed it on that level.
