What: This was never going to be perfect. It's a film adaptation of a series of short stories by the late, much-beloved David Foster Wallace and it deals with the terrifying-to-some f word (feminism), so it's going to have its haters. For what it is, though --- basically a series of monologues from some very good actors --- it works.
Some of the actors who talk at the interviewer (played by Julianne Nicholson) are: Will Arnett, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Cerveris, Josh Charles, Dominic Copper, Will Forte, Benjamin Gibbard, Timothy Hutton, John Krasinski (who also wrote/directed), Chris Messina, Max Minghella, Denis O'Hare, Clarke Peters, and Ben Shenkman.
Representative quote:
"Do you see how open I'm being with you here? Well I know I'm not telling you anything you haven't already decided you know. I can see you forming judgments with that chilly smile. You're not the only one who can read people you know."
