Anecdotes
The song heard on the soundtrack when the film ends is "The Big Ship" by Brian Eno, one of David Foster Wallace's favorite songs. It was also used for the climax of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015), another film that premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.

Gaffes
In regards to the scene where Mrs. Gunderson gives Mr. Wallace and Mr. Lipsky a car tour of Minneapolis sites: The Mary Tyler Moore statue on Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis, was not given to the City by TV Land until 2002. Also, it is not legal for cars to drive down Nicollet Mall.

Citations
David Foster Wallace: It may be in the old days what was known as a spiritual crisis: feeling as though every axiom in your life turned out to be false... and there was actually nothing. And that you were nothing. And that it's all a delusion and you're so much better than everybody 'cause you can see how this is just a delusion, and you're so much worse because you can't fucking function.

Générique farfelu
Halfway through the closing credits, there is an extra scene told from the perspective of David Foster Wallace as Lipsky goes to the bathroom to wash out the chewing tobacco. It shows what Wallace did while he was in the bathroom: he speaks privately into the tape recorder.

Interesting dialogue about how a celebrated writer is basically normal

This movie had enjoyable dialogue, which for a movie that is mostly about conversation, is something I don't often say. Eisenberg and Segel are new names for me, but I expect this movie will advance their opportunities as actors because they did a great job inhabiting their characters. I have not read any David Foster Wallace, but somehow even the greatness of Segel's character didn't quite strike me as convincing. This is not a problem I saw with Segels acting, but with the writing. I don't think the film really portrays the fact that Wallace was often perceived to be the very type of person he was critized of being. This film tries to answer the question by saying he was truly a normal guy -- but that I find unlikely. I guess I don't care who he wasn't, but who WAS he? We don't need a whole film to convince us that someone was just a normal person.
