Our take

A compassionate biography that swerves convention, The End of the Tour is anchored by two ambitious lead performances and a sharp, observational screenplay. James Ponsoldt fashions a literary road movie that finds humor and a pensive melancholy in the intangibility of fame and the creative process.
