Leave your thoughts about The Beat Hotel.
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesNever amounts to more than a flabby piece of counterculture nostalgia. |
| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierFollowing the faux-opiate flecked suit of docs like One Fast Move or I'm Gone, The Beat Hotel can't quite rise above its obvious desire to appeal to the former demographic in spite of their apparently limited patience for historical exegesis. |
| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe arts documentarian Alan Govenar takes his turn at burnishing the legend with The Beat Hotel, a mild-mannered primer centered on the cheapo Paris boardinghouse. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFilmmaker Alan Govenar misses the mark in his attempt to document the historical French dwelling of once famous beatniks. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonScaling new heights of inessentiality is The Beat Hotel, which chronicles the period, roughly 1958–63. |
| Time OutAndrew SchenkerThe fact that it's far more concerned with burnishing an overly fetishized lit movement than serving as an in-depth exploration of the hotel's inhabitants may make you want to check out early. |
