Chocolat's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
A superbly performed if classically helmed biopic. (...) Footit's circus scenes are truly remarkable, with the acrobatic Thierree evoking a very Chaplin-esque character that actually makes the big top seem exciting again.
Screen Daily
With the help of evocative production design and Paris locations, Zem and his cast have brought back to life an entertainment pioneer who was tragically forgotten by the time he died in 1917.
El País
The film moves through the easy way of the succession, not fusion, of genres: comic sequences occurred by dramatic sequences.
La Vanguardia
Sy vuelve a brindar aquí toda una lección interpretativa.
Cinemanía
A curious but uninspiring portrait of an exceptional figure.
Fotogramas
The portrait of the circus and the theatre of varieties in a Paris as bright as full of contrasts is a small joy.
