Maestro (2023)

The film drew me in quickly, but then -- almost as fast -- pushed me away. Basically, Cooper's Bernstein loves making music, screwing pretty boys, and having a home base. Other than his hair and skin, he doesn't really change over the 40 years or so covered here. 

In short: did Cooper do a good job of mimicking Bernstein? Probably. Did Cooper do a good job making a compelling film about Bernstein? Not so much.
