Jonathan E My philosophy professor gave us this movie as homework one week. It had just hit the theatres around Boston and I reluctantly boarded the bus down Mass Ave., across the Charles River and into a snow-heavy Cambridge. It was more than just a movie, it was almost like an acid trip! These days, I have the DVD and I watch it at least once a year. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review L S I wish I had watched this sooner. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review john h A conversation for dinner turns into a philosophical and existential interaction between two old friends that makes us think and question, the exact theme of the movie. This is one of the few films that make you think, and not many existential films do that very effectively - or as effectively as this film does. Somehow, My Dinner With Andre does not come off as a completely pretentious piece of work and is one of the most unique examples you will ever find in originality, human interest and the question for existence. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Zac h Unique film in that it is (nearly) entirely comprised of a conversation between the two main characters. I found their conversation thought-provoking but also a bit boring. I enjoyed the novelty of the premise and the dialog enough to watch and enjoy it but found it tedious enough that I had to watch it in two sittings. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Niall O A profound meditation on the meaning of life and existence, which raises serious questions as regards the ego, and our ability to tolerate uncertainty, ambiguity and lack of resolution. The most revealing thing in our lives is the thing that we do not want to know about ourselves. Stick with it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Dallas H I first watched this movie years ago and was not impressed. I decided to watch it again. My reaction to it has not changed all that much. Watching two people converse about their lives over dinner for almost two hours feels as exciting as watching wet paint dry on the wall. I felt like the third wheel on a couple's dinner date. And I will forever think about the Waiting For Guffman joke about the (fake) action figures for this film.
