Review: Maestro

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:13:26 GMT

Like its protagonist, the American conductor, composer, and pianist Leonard Bernstein, Maestro can’t decide to be one thing. It’s a snapshot of an artist that doesn’t seem terribly interested in his art, and a love story in which one of the partners suffers at the hands of the other. Bradley Cooper co-wrote the screenplay with Josh Singer, directs, and stars alongside Carey Mulligan, who plays his wife Felicia Montealegre Cohn, a Broadway actress.

By the time Felicia arrives, the backdrop to ...
