A deliciously entertaining drama/thriller, bolstered by sensually stylish direction by John Krokidas. Daniel Radcliffe sheds his Harry Potter persona and turns in the best performance of his career so far. But this is truly Dane DeHaan's film, equal parts sexy, dangerous, vulnerable, despicable, and sympathetic. He puts in one of the most overlooked and complex, not to mention downright intense, performances of last year. Sure, the film could have delved a bit deeper into the character's central dilemma(s), but this doesn't diminish the entrancing effect it has on the viewer. Bursting with energy and apprehension at every turn, Kill Your Darlings is a fascinating tale of love, obsession, and murder.
