Chevalier

...Harrison’s powerful performance and the chance to learn about this extraordinary artist make “Chevalier” more than worthwhile.

A lost historical figure gets his due in a rousing biopic.

...it is uplifted by its sharp critique of white institutions, and a strong performance from Kelvin Harrison Jr.

A fine, nuanced performance from Harrison Jr., showing the brooding strive under the swagger... holds your attention as Bologne stalks lavishly costumed balls and parties, exchanging elegant insults.

...while Harrison’s performance may never fully reveal the nature of the man beneath these sumptuous layers of organza, silk and self-confidence, it’s enchanté Chevalier, all the same.

Joseph Bologne receives a gorgeous biopic that also serves as a devastating reminder of a greatness nearly entirely expunged from history.
