Maybe this should have been James Franco's other Oscar nomination. This movie has very edgy writing. I expected the writing to be very good, because it is about a poem. The performances were, well top notch obviously just look at the cast. It actually surprised me how great it actually was. Yes I was expecting it to be great, but it threw me off a little. You have 4 things going on during the movie. You have a mockumentery going on with James Franco posing as Allen Ginsberg in a documentary. You have the court room drama which was really well done. You have James Franco belting out the words to the incredible Howl to a bunch of poets. Then you have the almost mesmerizing animations that explain the poem. Its really a hell of a gem for a movie. It will keep you staring at the screen as James Franco shines once again!
