Chevalier Movie Review

The film is set in the prelude to the Paris Revolution. Mozart is giving a concert and a man from the crowd asks if he could play Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. Five with him on stage. Mozart accepts, yet when he sees it’s a black man, well dressed though he is (his father supported his son so he would want for nothing), Mozart asks his audience, “Who put you up to this?” ​

Empire of Light Movie Review

I was looking very forward to “Empire of Light” based on its poster alone! It’s a solid visual of two people quietly celebrating the glory that is the event, the bringing about of fantastic fireworks in the sky.

Nancy Stokes is a 55-year-old widow played believably by 63-year-old, two-time Academy Award winner, Emma Thompson. Leo Grande is played by Daryl McCormack from “Peaky Blinders.” Thompson looks fabulous and is remarkable in the part while he, perhaps surprisingly from someone so new to the business, holds his own with a gifted actor who has been performing longer than McCormack has been alive. ​
