An indelible, gripping documentary portrait. Read full review

Slant Magazine Joseph Jon LanthierApr 5, 2013
Perhaps the most valuable insight that the film provides about its subject is that he acts even as he directs. Read full review

Like many neglected offspring, Gregory comes across as an eternal child himself, hooked on his capacity to enchant but rarely able to listen to anyone other than the actors over whom he has such power. Read full review

VarietyRonnie ScheibApr 3, 2013
Cindy Kleine pays tribute to her famed theater-director hubby in Andre Gregory: Before and After Dinner, with thoroughly delightful results. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayApr 3, 2013
Gregory’s wife, Cindy Kleine, is a skilled filmmaker, but she’s no Louis Malle, and her documentary Andre Gregory: Before And After Dinner is nowhere near as elegant as "My Dinner With Andre" or "Vanya On 42nd Street." Mainly, the movie lacks focus. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy BurrAug 1, 2013
Kleine's film is rambling and unfocused but mostly charming, and it steps into deeper waters almost in spite of itself. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesBill StametsJun 27, 2013
Kleine could have used Gregory’s lifelong trajectory to tell a larger story of the international avant-garde theater scene. Instead there is overmuch fuss about his coterie of dear companions. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinMay 2, 2013
[It's] too bad Cindy Kleine, the documentary's producer-director-narrator — and Gregory's wife — didn't better organize this rangy survey of the eclectic actor, theater director, artist and raconteur. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckApr 3, 2013
Although Andre Gregory's fans will find much here to savor, this rambling and unfocused portrait smacks of self-indulgence. Read full review

New York PostFarran Smith NehmeApr 4, 2013
The last topic is the hook for audience members not related to Gregory or Kleine, but just as insight appears, back we go to Kleine's tediously selfreferential narration. Read full review
