Review of The End of the Tour (2015) by Compi24 — 20 Feb 2022
Can confirm that even those who are generally unfamiliar with the life and times of David Foster Wallace can find enjoyment in James Ponsoldt's "The End Of The Tour," as my knowledge of the man and his works were limited at best before watching this.
From any angle, this is a contemplative, authentic and honest look at the burden of brilliance, the drawbacks of envying others and the layers of depth that we all contain within us. It's hard to even say that anything really "happens" in this movie and yet I couldn't help but be enraptured with seeing these two guys talking, trying to figure each other out.
You have to love the natural chemistry between the two lead performers and the acting overall. Jason Segel is the obvious standout, venturing out of the usual comedic trappings to play one of the more fascinating individuals to pop up in modern literature.
Definitely a great watch, overall.
