The writer D. F. Wallace interrogates life, & it crushes his soul & warns it may crush us all. The main reason the film works: Jason Segal.
You don’t need to be a David Foster Wallace person to appreciate this. A thoughtful examination of writing, jealousy, and masculinity.
Meditative, intelligent film that’s a little self indulgent but completely in line with what DFW would have loved to see
Though nothing spectacular happens, that's kind of what makes this story so special -- it feels like a possible peek into DFW's day-to-day.
Jason Segal channels David Foster Wallace A look at the inner workings of one of the great American novelists
If you like David Foster Wallace or Infinite Jest, this movie is a must watch
I don’t think it’s accurate to the person DFW was, but I think it captures his ethos (a sentence he would probably hate). Personal film.
An unexpected casting but two brilliant performances. They really gel when you want them to and clash when you don’t. Surprisingly watchable
Interesting story about an interesting person.
DFW is the anti hero of postmodernism, appreciate the portrayal in that it would have driven him crazy.Not the most likable guy,but a genius
