James Ponsoldt is an American film director known for films including The End of the Tour and The Circle.

Ponsoldt directed the films The End of the Tour (based on David Foster Wallace-related material) and The Circle (adapted from Dave Eggers' work).

DeBaser hosts two reviews of James Ponsoldt's films: a positive appraisal of The End of the Tour for its performances and portrayal of David Foster Wallace, and a more ambivalent take on The Circle that praises craft but finds its themes familiar. The reviews focus on literary biography, interviews, and the social-media/privacy debate.

For:Readers interested in literary biographies, film adaptations, and films about technology and privacy.

 Beyond the excellent performances of Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg (playing David Foster Wallace and David Lipski, respectively), the film sheds light on a man like Foster Wallace, the typical good-hearted American guy with great literary style.
