Where Kerouac's writing is vibrant and rhythmic, Walter Salles' filmmaking style is the opposite. The structure is episodic and the aesthetic uninspired. Occasionally a scene is amusing or provocative, but not one offers insight or excitement. How odd that some of the most iconic characters in 20th century literature are impossible to engage with on-screen, the issue being that the leads are uniformly bland. Kirsten Dunst and Elisabeth Moss shine in supporting roles.
