Goofs

It may seem like a plot hole that Hervé can't afford to pay for dinner, yet he throws wads of cash at the strippers, and is driven around town in a chauffeured limousine. However, at the time of his death, it is estimated that Hervé Villechaize had a net worth of over $100 thousand. Given Hervé's colorful behavior, it is not out of the question that he would have had an unpaid credit card or exceeded his limit, but would have plenty of cash. See more »

Excellent! See this one...
23 October 2018 | by rhmacl – See all my reviews

I got sucked right into this flick on HBO; the era (my teens), the music, the reconstruction of timeless scenes and TV personalities were spot on. But Mr. Dinklage is excellent, surpassing expectations and delivering a huge gift to the entertainment universe. The story was well-told by framing a range of 'out-of-control' personal worlds, while harvesting gut wrenching observations about being alive, being a person, being flawed, being human. Dinklage bravely fills-in that void between "you" and "him" with honesty, authenticity and structure. Great performance. It changed me...honestly! I feel like a better person... wow.
