Chevalier

[Disney+] It loses the opportunity to portray a character as unknown as he is interesting, although surrounded by certain doubts about the veracity of some information, which comes from a novelized version of his life. However, the script reduces to an interracial love story in the context of the incipient French Revolution, and it seems that Joseph Boulogne is more interested in his social reflection than in his merits as a composer. There is a good recreating of the period, and of a royal palace blind to the needs of the people, but there is no interesting reflection on the subject.

More romanticization than factual biography about a subject whose actual story would make an engrossing story on its own. Coupled with mediocre acting, direction, and editing and with dialogue peppered with modern idioms which come across as jarring given the period setting and additional music written for the movie that is not at all styled in keeping with that period, this entire movie falls flat and disappoints.

Very fake and unrealistic biography, seems a cheap TV drama in costume.
