Maestro's reviews
Media reviews
Collider
'Maestro' is a refreshing subversion of the classic biopic.
The Hollywood Reporter
Amplifying its force with thrilling use of the subject\'s music, this is a layered examination of a relationship that might be grossly over-simplified today as that of a closeted gay man and his "beard." But Cooper and co-screenwriter Josh Singer dig deeper to depict a unique union, fraught with conflicts yet unbreakable ? even when it\'s broken.
The Guardian
In the end, Cooper\'s Maestro succeeds because it is candid about the sacrifices which art demands of its practitioners, and the sacrifices these practitioners demand of their families and partners
Indiewire
As a study of how the Bernsteins\' near-three-decade marriage endured Lenny\'s gayness and genius, Maestro succeeds off the chemistry between Mulligan and Cooper, but the film often looks and feels too fussed-over, almost too precisely manicured, to ever erase its own parameters as a linear biopic.
The Playlist
Not only is the film\'s portrayal of Felicia tainted by ethnically inappropriate casting, but her character itself is often reductive?she is but the modern wife of a modern man, coming forth with a loose agreement on fidelity that inched Leonard across the finish line of a lengthy road towards marriage.
