“I think it is fair to warn people that the telling factor on whether you will enjoy this film or not is your relationship with Jack Kerouac and the writers of that time and crowd. The more you enjoy Kerouacu0026#39;s writing the more you will enjoy this film which has remained true to him and his words. If you donu0026#39;t enjoy Kerouac or are not familiar with him, then you might be tempted to walk out, or pass out with boredom.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eM. David Mullenu0026#39;s cinematography is spectacular and the Big Sur coast is stunning even on a bad day. But for the average viewer, this is a film with not much of a story or character development and an often irritating narration (Kerouacu0026#39;s words) that, depending on your love of Kerouac will come across as either evidence of his genius or delusional in itu0026#39;s presumption of profundity.”
