Audiences reacted to the film and even asked the Harry Potter star why he like weird films. The thespian was struck by the controversy and responded, "Films like this don't get made unless everyone involved loves them."

However critics were praised the picture which is already generating Oscar buzz. Jordan Hoffman from Film.com wrote, "There is a chemistry between [Radcliffe and DeHaan] that is more than just sexual."

David Rooney of the Hollywood Repoter said, "And the Beat goes on, this time in a syncopated study that sheds light in particular on the young Allen Ginsberg."

Variety's Justin Chang was also thrilled with the film and stated, "A mysterious Beat Generation footnote is fleshed out with skilled performances, darkly poetic visuals and a vivid rendering of 1940s academia in Kill Your Darlings."

Damon Wise of the Guardian wrote, "Kill Your Darlings may be best described as an intellectual moral maze, a story perfectly of its time and yet one that still resonates today."

The film also stars Dane Dehaan, Michael C. Hall, Elizabeth Olsen, Ben Foster, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Kyra Sedgwick. "Kill Your Darlings was directed by Josh Krokidas and will be distributed by Sony Classic Pictures on October 16.
