The Conductor Ratings & Reviews
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A portrait of a truly inspiring woman who has changed the classical music scene and empowered other women musicians.
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
Alsop is a magnificent and inspiring artist, and The Conductor... is an essential documentary for anyone who appreciates great art.
The Michael Medved Show
Michael Medved
Spellbinding and inspiring... a singularly satisfying cinematic experience.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
It's such an intimate, well-crafted look at Marin Alsop's journey.
AWFJ.org
Jennifer Merin
Bernadette Wegensteins joyful biodoc about Maestra Marin Alsop has footage of Leonard Bernstein and other luminaries who mentored Alsop, clips of Alsops brilliant performances. Her story is truly inspirational. It will lift your spirits, as it did mine
Third Coast Review
Lisa Trifone
What shines through in Wegenstein's essentially paint-by-numbers documentary is Alsip's sincere warmth and encouraging spirit.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
Alsop's magnetic personality might be the movie's best asset. You also get to hear a bit of good music in the bargain.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
See it for the story, see it for the close, satisfying look at the ever-positive Marin Alsop, and see and hear it for the music, because there's lots of that, too.
Film Threat
Sabina Dana Plasse
Director Bernadette Wegenstein constructs Alsop's story leaving no stone unturned.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
While mostly about the subject's more inspirational career achievements and spearheadings of community-outreach programs, The Conductor cannot bypass some flabbergasting intel on the degree of resistance she encountered up to that point.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Its straightforwardness aside, "The Conductor" approaches Alsop's life not unlike a symphony, its parts gradually unifying as a narrative of singular ambition, achievement and fortitude.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
As filmmaking, "The Conductor" takes a fairly standard approach. The most engaging portions involve music-making itself.
Spectrum Culture
Alan Zilberman
To conduct is to play an entire orchestra with your body, a difficult concetpt, so the film is fascinating when it shows us what makes Alsop such a singular talent.
AWFJ.org
Susan Wloszczyna
Watching Bernadette Wegenstein's doc The Conductor is an uplifting and educational treat as we get to know Marin Alsop.
AWFJ.org
Leslie Combemale
If, like Alsop, you believe 'can't' is the worst four letter word in the English language, you'll love this inspirational, feel-good documentary.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Steely determination from childhood on that Alsop needed to break the highest glass ceilings in classical music comes through in her dizzying array of firsts seen close up.
