Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The performances, the writing, the direction, Segel's D.F.W. impression, everything is just fine. But The End of the Tour is disgraceful. It feels like it's towing out the real Wallace's ghost to perform some soppy parody of himself.

It's a movie that makes thoughtful drama out of the essential insanity of celebrity journalism, wherein a star proclaims humility while a scribbler promises idolatry.

What we have here is a road trip about two guys talking. And it's riveting.

Despite a premise that seems anything but cinematic, "The End of the Tour" is an offbeat and fascinating film.

The End of the Tour is so effective because it's far too smart to engage in ominous foreshadowing.
