Kill Your Darlings in UK cinemas Carr's intellectual spark attracts the unwanted attention of David Kammerer (Michael C Hall) - English teacher at Washington University - an interest that borders on the obsessive. For those a little sketchy on the history, the term "Beat Generation" was coined by novelist and friend of Ginsberg Jack Kerouac to describe an anti-conformist youth movement in New York which took off in the 1950s. Characteristics of Beat culture include experimentation with drugs and sexuality, the quest for "true inspiration" in the arts and a rejection of materialism. Allen Ginsberg (above) along with the likes of William S Burroughs formed the literary canon of the Beat Generation with his poem Howl - a piece that sparked an obscenity trial with explicit language and sexual themes. Like so many child actors casting off the shackles of their breakthrough roles, Radcliffe's career has been under scrutiny since the Harry Potter saga ended. Sincere actor or a magnet for controversy? Radcliffe addresses this very issue in an interview with Vanity Fair. The boy wonder must be doing something right. Since the film premièred at the 2013 Sundance Festival it has won complimentary reviews across the board. Empire awards four stars calling it a "vibrant" and "insightful" telling of the Beat's Big Bang. Radcliffe is applauded as Ginsberg "perfectly capturing his innocence and sense of adventure." Kill Your Darlings is in UK cinemas on Friday 6. Let us know if you're checking out this new release by Tweeting @STVGlasgow
