Trivia:
In 2008, while performing the Broadway play Equus, Daniel Radcliffe auditioned and got the part of Allen Ginsberg. Radcliffe went on to film the last two Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and with him unavailable for filming, Chris Evans, Jesse Eisenberg, and Ben Whishaw were cast without Radcliffe. Shortly after, financing for the film fell through. When director John Krokidas started again with the film, he offered the role of Allen Ginsberg back to Radcliffe. See more »

I had the opportunity to see this movie at the Sundance film festival
this year. Absolutely amazing. John Krokidas is a visionary. This is
proof that there is an acting life for Daniel Radcliffe after Harry
Potter. It is a thrilling and provocative must see. The film flows
beautifully and keeps you entranced. This film pushes the limits to new
depths that the industry is in desperate need of. I left the film
feeling like my mind had been opened to a whole new level. I will watch
this movie again and again. But keep in mind it is not for the faint of
heart, it is very intense. If you want passion, betrayal, sex, drugs
and as rock and roll as the 40's can get, this is your movie.
