Madam D @Madam1948 Feb 13 Great writing & acting. A bit slow & long. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 11 Released July 31st, 10 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Some Sexual References and Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Jesse Eisenberg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jonathan K @aFIREintheattic May 26 I mean, I liked it, sure. The script was pretty good and it’s definitely an actor’s movie. The performances were solid, not stellar, but good, and you do feel like you get to know the characters. There’s a good sense of who they are, and some of the dialogue brings up interesting ideas that make you think. The characters have complexity and messiness, which was one of the cooler parts of the writing. The shoe thing though (iykyk)... far too enigmatic for my taste. And ultimately, I think kind of distracting to try and make sense of.

And I was very pleased with this film, I really enjoyed it. Jesse Eisenberg does a great job as always in the lead role, and Segal gives a surprisingly good performance as Wallace. Nothing much really happens in this film, but the dialogues and conversations between the two were fascinating. And I was very pleased by this film's direction, since I did not like James Ponsoldt's other effort that I've seen, The Spectacular Now. That film felt very lifeless to me, but this felt immensely real, human, and emotional. It's pretty well shot too, and the music is great. But the real highlight of the film is the complexities of the two leads, both characters were incredibly interesting and enjoyable to watch, and their dynamic throughout was amazing. I don't know much about Wallace, but The End of the Tour was an amazing and incredibly human film.

See more Dave S @RT68722908 08/11/2024 For those interested in delving into the psyche of David Foster Wallace, one of the great literary minds of the last forty years, The End of the Tour will be satisfying viewing. For those who have never heard of Wallace or have not read his seminal opus Infinite Jest, the movie will either be a great introduction to a great writer or, more likely, a monumental bore. Jesse Eisenberg plays David Lipsky, a journalist from Rolling Stone, who travels to the American Midwest to interview the enigmatic Wallace (Jason Segel) as he wraps up his book tour for the recently released Infinite Jest. Despite consisting of almost two hours of talking heads, the movie is consistently compelling due to the great performances from the leads, plenty of smart dialogue, and the fact that both characters have tremendous depth. Or you’ll find the talking heads painfully dull. See more Read all reviews
