The film is fascinatingly intellectual and brimming with humanity.

Occasionally it feels like an excuse for introspective comments from the David Foster Wallace Book of Wisdom, but Segel finds the humanity in him, playing him as a man who lived inside his head even as his world expanded.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 3, 2021

The End of the Tour movingly illustrates how deeply a human connection, no matter how momentary, can effect a person's life.

James Ponsoldt shows a very moving study on friendship, idolatry and fear of sincerity seen through the eyes of two writers. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2020

Both Segel and Eisenberg are fantastic, each offering up some of the their best work.

Segal's performance as Wallace, I think, is going to end up earning him an Academy Award nomination.

| Feb 13, 2020

By removing the artifice and mystery surrounding the writer's life, by showing the gritty and semi-depressing details, The End Of The Tour actually ends up celebrating literature in a way that no cheesy Hemingway biopic can.

| Jan 30, 2020

If you're a fan of Wallace's work, or if you just like good writing, The End of the Tour is a must-see.

| Jan 10, 2020

A beautiful reflection of Wallace's work, specifically Wallace's signature novel, Infinite Jest.

| Jul 2, 2019

The performances are really what keep the film from falling apart and the character dynamic makes up for any sluggishness that befalls the film around the midway point before it picks up again.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 2, 2019

Featuring some of the best dialogue scenes you'll see this year, The End of the Tour is a fascinating and utterly absorbing sparring of minds - Segel is a mini revelation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 18, 2019

Meditative and thought provoking, The End of the Tour captures the complexity of one man's life through a delicate lens.

It takes a special kind of moviegoer to watch a film about two guys talking. While there is some brief relief from a marathon five day conversation including a trip to the Mall of America, this is for word lovers.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018

Works ...as something considerably less ambitious than [the] doorstopper novel Infinite Jest: a buddy movie about the difficulty to communicate.

| Aug 29, 2018

"The End of the Tour" is a rare and insightful look into depression and how it affected one brilliantly talented author.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 21, 2018

... does not make for a compelling film, despite a pair of very good performances.

If you're a fan, you'll recognize the man behind what you've read and likely feel that his memory has been well served in the small portion of his life recreated here.

This is the kind of irony that Wallace himself could have spun into brilliant prose.

| Aug 21, 2017

Because [The End of the Tour] is a film about language and about two men in dialogue, it's greatness could not have been achieved without the performances.
