ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

"Chevalier is Richard Linklater's EVERYBODY WANTS SOME! squished through a European arthouse grinder with deeply pleasing results."

Times (UK)

"It's an expertly executed tease."

Variety

"Gorgeously shot almost exclusively within the confines of the boat, Chevalier joins Roman Polanski's KNIFE IN THE WATER in the small pantheon of movies that wield that setting to their advantage."
