Our take

After decades in development hell, the era-defining Beat novel by Jack Kerouac made it to the screen as a hot premiere from director Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries), with an all-star cast (including Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst!) passionately tearing into Kerouac’s soaring prose.
