Just finished watching it. Thought it was great. It cover's DFW poignantly, with the whole "I don't think you want to be me," relationship he had with Lipsky. Segel's performance was amazing, at certain moments I thought I was actually watching DFW.
I've only read Infinite Jest and Brief Interviews, which I'll definitely reread, and now I'm thrilled for more.
I liked the film, but I've never read anything by or about DFW, so my judgement of his portrayal is worthless.

and that's the end of that chapter *throws end of scarf around neck*
I think they did a good job capturing the autistic weirdo side of him. The people who saw it and said the film was just sucking his cock didn't really pay attention. Also worth mentioning it's told from lipsky's perspective.
