Two old friends meet for dinner; as one tells anecdotes detailing his experiences, the other notices their differing worldviews.
From memory: A film that presents a nearly two-hour conversation is maybe not the most inviting premise, but My Dinner With Andre is a fascinating, even mesmerizing experience, and Shawn and Gregory perform as if you were actually sitting at the next table overhearing a real and truly interesting exchange between two artists/intellectuals.
Halliwell*: "Curious two-hander which can please the right,audience, when it's in the mood; for selling tickets, forget it."
Maltin**1/2: "A daring and unique film...with moments of insight, drama, and hilarity - but not enough for a feature-length film."
