Two years after her death in a car crash, the husband and sons of famed photographer Isabelle Reed [Isabelle Huppert] are still trying to cope with their loss. Gene [Gabriel Byrne] struggles as a single parent, but is taking his first exultant steps towards a new relationship. Jonah [Jesse Eisenberg], the elder son, has just had a baby of his own and finds the transition from child to parent more than a little daunting. The younger son — Conrad [Devin Druid] — is a typical teenager, wearing his alienation as a badge of honor and resisting his father’s every attempt to connect. On the occasion of a major retrospective of Isabelle’s work, Jonah returns home to help his father organize her effects. Once again under the same roof, all three men are flooded with memories, and secrets are unearthed—most notably the truth behind the mysterious circumstances of Isabelle’s death. Shifting between past and present, and juxtaposing external reality with privileged glimpses into the interior lives of each of its four major characters, LOUDER THAN BOMBS is a stunningly intimate portrait of parents and children and the many things that tear them apart and bring them together.

THE END OF THE TOUR tells the story of the five-day interview between Rolling Stone reporter [and novelist] David Lipsky [Jesse Eisenberg] and acclaimed novelist David Foster Wallace [Jason Segel], which took place right after the 1996 publication of Wallace’s groundbreaking epic novel — Infinite Jest. As the days go on, a tenuous yet intense relationship seems to develop between journalist and subject. The two men bob and weave around each other, sharing laughs and also possibly revealing hidden frailties – but it’s never clear how truthful they are being with each other. Ironically, the interview was never published, and five days of audio tapes were packed away in Lipsky’s closet. The two men did not meet again. The film is based on Lipsky’s critically acclaimed memoir about this unforgettable encounter — written following Wallace’s 2008 suicide. Both Segel and Eisenberg reveal great depths of emotion in their performances and the film is directed with humor and tenderness by Sundance vet James Ponsoldt from Pulitzer- Prize winner Donald Margulies’ insightful and heartbreaking screenplay.
