Before and After Dinner is a warm and loving portrait of a creative life, and can be thought of as the completion of a loose trilogy that began with My Dinner With Andre and continued with Vanya on 42nd Street (1994), in which Gregory rehearses a production of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya.

"The director Andre Gregory is turning 79 next month and still at work. Two plays will appear later this year; Jonathan Demme's film of Gregory's production of Ibsen's The Master Builder is in the offing. Gregory is the subject of a new film, Before and After Dinner."

“It's really wonderful work. Enlightening, moving, and very much a love story.”
– Martin Scorsese
“I can think of no film biography I'd rather watch than that of the great artist André Gregory. His life is a fascinating one, full of shocking discovery and transcendent action. And there is no one more qualified to tell that story than Cindy Kleine, his wife, and also a great introspective filmmaker who has made a life's work of getting to the heart of those strange and complicated souls who like to call themselves human beings. I can't wait.”
– Ken Burns
“Treasures like André Gregory do not come around often. He is one of our most important artists. I am thrilled that there will be a film to help us all navigate his life, his work and his idiosyncratic and uniquely truthful vision.”
– Sir Simon Rattle
