Review of My Dinner with Andre (1981) by Matt L — 06 Mar 2008

Ive given this film only three stars simply because I would feel bad awarding it more than other films in which the photography itself actually matters; because honestly, this film would be almost as good on tape.

And to be honest, if youre going to watch this, you have to be ready for it, you have to want to enjoy it. Otherwise, youll shrug it off about twenty minutes in. But, what starts off as a mildly amusing reunion between two friends, evolves into an interesting discussion of humanity in Western culture.

It is also important to note that this is only considered comedy because it is not a tragedy. If anything, it is a talkumentary.
