Is it kino?

I didn't like Jason Segel's portrayal of DFW very much, nor the other main actor who played the reporter, but the script was good and it was somewhat kino yeah.

YES, IT IS "KINO", BECAUSE IT IS A CINEMATIC AUDIOVISUAL SEQUENCE, BUT, REGARDING QUALITY, IT IS DRIVEL.

portrays DFW as a petty, jealous douchebag who literally cannot stop stuffing junk food into his maw

definitely kino

It's a pretty good movie. If you care about how accurate biopics are to real life you're an idiot

this is 100% true, and it was still a far more flattering depiction than he deserved

I agree, but it still came across as genuine. I don't think the movie needed to show the absolute worst aspects of his character just because that's also true.

I really liked the film, saw it twice.

I think I would have been better off not seeing it.

Jesse Eisenberg simply isn’t convincing as a warm-blooded mammalian human.

it single-handedly dissuaded me from ever wanting to read a book by David Foster Wallace, which is ironic since his presence is perpetual on /lit/, there will be DFW thread, at all times, as though the executors of his estate are fulfilling some clause
