Review of The End of The Tour

A very unusual film - about how David Lipsky (a journalist for Rolling Stone) goes to interview the writer David Foster Wallace by joining his writer's book tour, and the relationship that develops between them. In between it's about what goes on between writers and their subjects, and the business of book tours, and what integrity demands of reporters, and so on.

It's slow, and not so beautiful to look at, but really interesting. And now I want to read more of David Lipsky.

Watched on Netflix.
