Jason Schwartzman was surprisingly good in this — very funny and also kind of sweet in a role that’s loosely based on Allen Ginsberg, but doesn’t wind up being much like the real Ginsberg — and yet I didn’t mind because it works so well in the context of the film. 3/3

Very impressed with how director Luca Guadagnino and screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes found just the right balance between keeping the film set in the period when it was written, but also adding a modern perspective. I loved the little interpolations from Cocteau and Magritte as well. 2/3

Agreed. I subscribed to RS when I cancelled my NYT subscription last year, and haven't regretted it.
