"My Dinner With Herve" is enjoyable movie although it kind of looks like a HBO's 'thank you' to Peter Dinklage for what he achieved in GOT.
Also as a viewer this is an enjoyable movie, but if I was some sort of a boring film critic I would compare it to the move "Cobb" that has a similar dramatic setup: a reporter goes to interview a recluse legend (Ty Cobb) who is forgotten by now and he reveals his dark side to him as well as his vulnerable human side. And, indeed, as such "Cobb" fulfills that dramatic setup more since Ty Cobb was more messed up person and pretty much evil inside; while Herve was a good person although he seemed unpleasant sometimes.
But "Herve" wants to be more than that although at moments it seems the movie doesn't know what it wants to be - is it a biography, battle of different inner personalities (or battle between id and ego) like "Cobb", stage for little people's issues and problems... but that's all if you want to watch it like a boring film critic; if you rather want to watch it to fulfill some tome then it's great.
