Maestro

“Maestro is the movie of the year. Amendment: not to slight the amazing Oppenheimer, make that one of the two best films of the year. But Bradley Cooper’s warts-and-all biopic about volatile conductor-composer Leonard Bernstein has more passion, tenderness and heartbreaking resonance—and it’s a lot more fun.”
Rex Reed, Observer
“This is a complex and sophisticated picture, the kind of grown-up love story we see all too rarely these days, especially when it comes to starry, big-ticket moviemaking. It’s entertaining and robust and forthright; it’s also tremendously sad, not necessarily in a bring-your-hanky way, but in a deeper, more truthful way.”
Stephanie Zacharek, Time
“Maestro exposes a truth about marriage that I always knew but could never quite articulate: To be truly known and understood can actually be scary.”
Mick LaSelle, San Francisco Chronicle
