MORE SPOILER-FREE MINI-REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/mini-reviews-2023-edition "Chevalier holds a screenplay by Stefani Robinson that doesn't escape the predictability of the usual biopic structure, but director Stephen Williams offers a careful, surprisingly captivating look at the life story of composer Joseph Bologne. A thematically sensitive yet tremendously inspiring narrative set to incredibly cathartic classical music that allows for a powerful, climactic conclusion. The cast is wonderful, as Kelvin Harrison Jr. delivers one of the best performances of 2023 to date. Costume design and makeup will surely get many nominations in the next awards season." Rating: B
