A shade of Ginsberg, but a refreshing and solid film.

Sadly, I found it only moderately enjoyable and rather smug, much like an average edition of the BBC's Arena.

There are ways to put poetry on the screen, but this drama-documentary about the Beat versifier Allen Ginsberg fails to find them.

Howl is invigoratingly fresh. It has compelling filmmaking, a great script and tremendous acting from all involved.

Great art transcends its creator. In this case, it also lays the foundation for a great film.

The main reason to see the film is the note-perfect performance by James Franco.

Product Description:
In his famously confessional style, Ginsberg a poet, counter-culture icon, and chronicler of the Beat Generation a recounts the road trips, love affairs, and search for personal liberation that led to HOWL, the most timeless work of his career. HOWL interweaves three stories: the unfolding of the landmark 1957 obscenity trial; an imaginative animated ride through the prophetic masterpiece; and a unique portrait of a man who found new ways to express himself, and in doing so, changed his own life and galvanized a generation.
