[ a mirror of a review i posted on my letterboxd but i thought was cute enough to share here. lazy post. ]
* The End of the Tour
I only got any enjoyment in a second watch through where I just imagined they were both gay for each other.
Wallace is so lonely and repeatedly doesn't want Lipsky to leave, when he gets upset its when he feels like Lipsky is falling in between his fingers.
Wallace doesn't want women to come between them both, but Lipsky insecure; wants to prove himself socially adequate and not this shared trope they both despise. Though ultimately fruitless as he's melts down taking his anger out on his lover, but Wallace wanting to just take care of Lipsky makes more room for him.
I didn't take notes, but if you watch it, think about it. It's not perfect, but there's so many funny little moments to Fujo out about.
** rating: ★★☆☆☆
But its like actually pretty miserable, a terrible way to remember either writers. It's neither feels true or vulnerable, to me at least.
