Before he put an end to his life in 2008, David Foster Wallace had managed to become one of the most fascinating writers in 20th Century American literature. When Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky rushed out to meet him while on a book tour for a lengthy interview, he realized he'd struck gold. What followed was an unexpected friendship between two diametrically different personalities, even if the interview never actually got published. The chemistry between Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg is incredible, with Segel's performance is a surprising transformation after a long career in comedy.
