The End of the Tour has a deceptively
simple plot. A magazine journalist goes
to interview a writer, has various discussions with him, and then leaves with
his story. The plot itself is nothing
great, I'd even call it rather average overall. It is neither revolutionary nor innovative in
its approach and does nothing to shake up its medium’s narrative structure,
unlike the writer’s own creation. Yet The
End of the Tour is a great film, and its greatness lies with its two lead
actors. Here is an extremely lowkey film
featuring two incredibly down-to-earth, relatable performances with fantastic
chemistry.
