The jokey-sounding title does a bit of a disservice to My Dinner With Herve, an HBO movie worth seeing solely for Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage's portrayal of Herve Villechaize.
[Dinklage's] remarkable wordless reaction is at once sheepish, knowing, proud and embarrassed. Like a well-shot arrow, that instant of self-awareness pierces the uneven narrative, straight to the broken heart.
But the film is mostly a dance between Dinklage and Dornan, who rises to the occasion and gives the best performance of his career as a man struggling to hang on to his sobriety even as he's dragged through a hell of Los Angeles.
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.
