My Dinner with Hervé offers a standard narrative on celebrity and infamy, but formidable performances by Peter Dinklage and Jamie Dornan find the dimensionality and pathos of Hervé Villechaize the man.

Villechaize as written is a glorious part - poignant as he wrestles with the limitations placed on him by others and infuriating as he spurns the help of those trying to save him from himself - even if it was far less fun in real life. Oct 29, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

My Dinner with Hervé cannot make a straight-faced claim that Villechaize was an important actor or significant cultural figure, so its own significance depends on the star's charisma, which lends the proceedings a simple poignance. Oct 23, 2018 | Full Review…

It's a compelling story made more poignant by the fact that it's told by Dinklage, a performer who seems to be the exact opposite of Villechaize. Oct 23, 2018 | Full Review…

What's left are two dudes with varying degrees of moral disrepair shouting at each other across the Hollywood Hills. That's not enough to hold up an entire feature, or even a good dinner conversation. Oct 22, 2018 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

But Dinklage, like Dornan, manages to convey a fully dimensional person despite the skipping of narrative steps. He is a remarkable actor. Oct 22, 2018 | Full Review…

Dinklage excels in a very difficult role to pull off while Dornan keeps pace as his reluctant Boswell. Their love story, is both an entertaining romp and a cautionary tale. Oct 22, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

To see Dinklage bring such humanity and pathos to such a complexly unhappy character was the most profound aspect of the film. Nov 8, 2018 | Full Review…

This fine HBO-produced biopic of the late Herve Villechaize has been a passion project for Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage for several years. Oct 30, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Dinklage is superb, not just peeling back Villechaize layer by layer, but conveying simultaneously a man who was manipulative and aggressive...but also lonely and vulnerable and plain sad. Oct 29, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Gervasi steers clear of farcical intent, which surprises, instead trying to find the strangeness and sincerity in this meeting of broken men. Oct 24, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

The resulting film - funny, lurid and desperately sad - is a remarkably three-dimensional portrait of a man dismissed as a pop-culture punchline. Oct 23, 2018 | Full Review…

This is based on writer/director Sacha Gervasi's own encounter with the actor shortly before his death in 1993, and his affection for the mercurial little diva poignantly shines through. Oct 22, 2018 | Full Review…
