	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"Dinklage shines as Hervé Villechaize, but the character is too far on the margins of his own story (...) It’s a story that seems too sad, and too sadly marginal, to entice viewers."
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Goodness gracious is Dinklage something to see (...) There are moments of profound vulnerability throughout 'My Dinner With Hervé' (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"A messy story forced to fit inside a familiar biopic template (...) Instead of coherence, let alone fun, the film offers up a few spot-on recreations of Villechaize’s most famous scenes"
		Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Leading an ace cast in a hit-and-miss movie, Dinklage is a blast (...) The clashing back-and-forth — between present and past, and between the two lead characters — begins to feel routine and mechanical."
		Brian Lowry CNN	"Poignant in places, clunky in others (...) Dinklage manages to capture the distinctive tone of Villechaize's voice and accent"
		Matt Fowler IGN	"'My Dinner with Hervé' mostly works (...) From a performance standpoint, however, Peter Dinklage gives a memorable and moving showing"
		Odie Henderson rogerebert.com	"You stop caring about anything Tate is going through (...) Dornan’s one-note performance leaves much to be desired, but Dinklage is very, very good (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
