    Despite having the HBO Films quality, in general terms this film is too conventional but it works as a great showcase for Peter Dinklage who continues to show that his talent is enormous.
    I know it sounds ridiculous but what kind of roles he would be getting if he didn't suffer from achondroplasia.
    But I must also mention that Jamie Dornan surprised me. His performance is not big but

    But I must also mention that Jamie Dornan surprised me. His performance is not big but he makes it clear that he can do way better things than 50 Shades of Grey.

    Watch it, but with obvious reservations.

    Dinklage really shows off his acting chops here and Dornan plays a good supporting role. My Dinner with Herve provides a pretty interesting look into the actor's final days and makes for a compelling watch at times. It does have some pacing issues and I feel it cuts too often between the past and present but aside from that, It was well worth the watch.

    Peter Dinklage o melhor anão de todos, e um grande ator, filme com ótima fotografia, atuações e enredo bons, a história contada por Hervé é triste, interessante, intrigante e de sorte ... Música de abertura grandiosa seguida por boas trilhas sonoras, o filme cumpre bem e honra a história de Hervé baseada em fatos reais.

    I gave this film two shots at watching it. I was never a big Heve fan, to begin with, but curious to give this movie a shot. For me it was a bust, the scenes move very slowly and I realized. Hey, I don't care enough about this Herve's past to spend my time watching it so i quit watching it again. Dinklage does a great job, but this fill still only gets a rating of 3 from me.

    Dinklage catches the character’s anger, self-pity, and, most importantly, his exuberant recklessness. ... 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.

    My Dinner With Hervé exists because two people shared a passion for the story they either lived through (Gervasi) or were inspired by (Dinklage). Unfortunately, so little of whatever sparked their persistent interest makes it to the screen. 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.

    Dinklage excels in a very difficult role to pull off while Dornan keeps pace as his reluctant Boswell. Their love story, so to speak, is both an entertaining romp and a cautionary tale about a rocket ride to fame and the abundant excesses and afflictions that often are part and parcel.
