Maestro

Maestro is a 129-minute study of the life of an artist, but besides the love story, it doesn’t satisfyingly say much about the artist, his creation or his identity.

Maestro is a work that celebrates and admires Berstein. [Full review in Spanish]

[Bradley Cooper's] mimicry eventually becomes overbearing. If an actor is working so hard that all the audience can focus on is the work, rather than the character, it’s self-defeating.

Maestro comes alive as Cooper, who also co-wrote the screenplay, filters Bernstein's passion for life and all its grand indulgences into an intensely physical performance, which peaks in a sweat-drenched conducting sequence that bursts off the screen.

The movie’s general lack of candor matches its scrupulous avoidance of controversy and complexity, which does no justice to the complex and controversial characters at the center of the film.

A captivating drama that’s big, bold and intimate all at once.

Carey Mulligan isn't one to be left behind, delivering a career-best performance...

No matter the verdict, it is hard to deny that star and director Bradley Cooper exudes passion for this fearless love story, which is half the battle.

Maestro is a surprisingly pedestrian biopic of a force of nature subject.

Offers little more than something akin to a prolonged high-end fashion mag photoshoot, with a perfunctory script included — until its very end, when it decides to become an actual biopic of Leonard Bernstein.
