Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
pietknudsen This movie really captured what David Foster Wallace stood for, its not flashy and easy entertainment but deep and interesting content to get great meaning from. The conversations are two great minds sharing an insight into the mind of creative minds growing up in a world of consumption. If you like thinking about society, people, and another perspective on life this movie is amazing, but if you are looking for the next die hard or another pointless actionmovie this is not for you.
gregtheproduct Yet another movie about a really, really smart subject that could only appeal to really, really dumb people. Jason Segal as David Foster Wallace in what might be the worst casting of our lifetimes.
leethomas-11621 I loved the performances but Wallace doesn't come across as someone I could spend 2 hours with never alone accompany on a world tour! (viewed 9/16)
Wellenstock The End of the Tour is NOT "Brilliant", NOT "Top Notch", NOT "Superb", NOT "Near-Perfect. It IS kind of boring.The End of the Tour appears to have been filmed as cheaply and quickly as possible. The characters, dialog and story are dull and contrived but try to sound deep and intellectual. They're not. The writing seems to have nothing to say so they throw in some highbrow vocabulary to make the viewer feel like they're not smart enough to get it. "So he must've said something really smart, right?" Not really. If you pause the film and look up a word you quickly realize the statement was not enlightening or thought provoking at all (even though Jesse Eisenberg gave that subtle shake of the head as though he was just blown away).So why did it get so much praise? It's a vehicle for pretentious posers to rave about on their quest to appear like social butterflies of the intellectual world.It's truly shameful that society has sunk to this level. By that I mean that people we all know get their opinions from watching others on TV instead of using their own critical thinking skills. The talking heads on TV generally are speaking out opinions written for them by skewed producers or film industry marketers. This happens because the producer or critic doesn't have time to write a review on their own. They're looking for a quick way to be done with the work. Along comes the film marketeer who has taken the time to write a glowing review of the film they're trying to sell.This happens of course on the political scene as well, when organizations like ALEC write legislation for senators to pass off as their own idea.So if you decide to see this after all, do yourself the favor of making a note of who raved about it and stop taking advice from them. Also read up on the fine art of critical thinking. Calling out phonies and shaming them is the best thing we can do to change this trend of social corrosion.
