You should be prepared for some high-minded pretension, lots of self-consciously arty shots, and long stretches of apparently profound nothingness.

The technique - and this movie is about nothing if not technique, both Crane's and the filmmaker's - isn't particularly successful.
-Farran Smith NehmeFull Review
Despite earnest attempts, Mr. Franco can't bring the fervency of Crane's poetry to life in the extensive recitations.
-Stephen HoldenFull Review
It's a pensive and heartfelt movie, assuming that you let yourself get caught up in its moody-minimalist, more-visual-than-verbal style.
-Owen GleibermanFull Review
Sincere, amateurish, and misguided.
-Melissa AndersonFull Review
Not a heady experience like many of the semi-experimental 1960s films he emulates. Instead, it's mostly a tedious chore, much akin to listening poetry you don't much like.
