Maestro Ratings & Reviews
- neuroparadoxJuly 29, 2025Anyone who calls this Oscar bait deserves a slap 👋 because this is a fucking excellent movie, and is very Oscar-worthy...probably not gonna Oscar-winny though (maybe for makeup.) Carey Mulligan kills it, great cinematography, the makeup is the best and most convincing I've ever seen, and the music is, obviously, amazing and epic. Don't take the hate bait. 🎣
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Cooper and Mulligan are both magnetic in this decade spanning portrayal of Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre’s marriage. They’re so good together it’s hard pick which performance I liked more. Cooper also proves that A Star is Born wasn’t a fluke in any way. Maestro is gorgeous to look and the manner in which the couple’s complex relationship plays makes for compelling drama. However, because of the nature of their relationship, there’s an emotional distance between them that very much extends to the viewing audience as well. I just didn’t find the drama as emotionally moving as, say, A Star is Born. I really would have loved a deeper dive into Bernstein as a composer/conductor. The black and white On the Town sequence was brief but beautifully done, but the extended sequence of Leonard conducting was absolutely riveting. Just wish this had been more of an exploration of his life and music, rather than just a window into his marriage his various affairs. Still, I absolutely enjoyed the watch. Libatique’s cinematography is a technical triumph and the lead performances are extraordinary. Well worth checking out even if it didn’t quite live up to my lofty expectations.
