Who Owns Jack Kerouac is a fascinating dive into the often murky waters of literary legacy and familial connection. The film follows Shea on a cross-country quest, and there's a rawness to it that feels both intimate and confrontational. You can sense the weight of Kerouac's iconic status and the unresolved tensions surrounding his daughter, Jan. The pacing is contemplative, matching the reflective nature of the journey, and it doesnât shy away from the complexity of their relationship. This documentary isnât just about the man behind On the Road; itâs a poignant exploration of identity, belief, and the search for belonging amidst the shadows of a literary giant.
