Krasinski preserves Wallace's whooshing roller coasters of words, powered by the fuel of confession. -- Grade: B-

[Brief Interviews] is within the limits of the medium, a rigorous record of the process of thought. Full Review

Rating: 4/10 -- Faced with the unenviable choice between honoring his daunting inspiration and telling his own story, the director shoots straight down the middle -- and misses both targets. Full Review

Everywhere this poor lady tries to go, there's always a guy or two loudly performing a David Foster Wallace monologue within earshot.

[Krasinski's] generosity of intent is really the main impression that remains. He read, he loved, and unfortunately, he did not conquer. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- The urgency of the tales gets lost along the way, weighed down by staginess and an inconsistent tone, although Krasinski's ambition suggests a noble failure. Full Review

Not since IN THE COMPANY OF MEN has the male gender been so ruthlessly portrayed on screen....Ingeniously structured and beautifully acted...
