Bradley Cooper's "Maestro"

[TimotheeChalamet 3,072]

A couple days ago I've watched Bradley Cooper's last film as both director and main character, "Maestro", a biopic on Leonard Bernstein. 

Talented musician and orchestrator, Leonard Bernstein had an eccentric and complex personality, and the movie covers quite a large span of his life (from his 30s to his 80s, I think) and focuses on his troubled relationships with both men and women (I didn't know he was married and had children while consensually keeping his wife aware of his same-sex adventures). 

Have you seen it? What did you think? 

I found the movie to be amazingly shot with a clever use of BW and color as time progresses, and both Cooper's acting performance and the makeup work to make him look progressively older were incredible. The plot drags a bit towards the end though, similar to A Star Is Born (but this is shorter). 

It's available on Netflix in my country, but I don't know if it's out everywhere

Omg same sex adventures???? Brb getting my ass to an AMC Dolby screening RIGHT NOW

A Star Is Born does not drag at the end. Jackson was depressed and about to off himself and it seemed everyone just wanted more screentime for Gaga.

I didn't feel like it drags at the end. Actually I thought it was pretty quick finishing his wife.

I have started watching it, I'm half way thru. I agree it's amazingly shot, the cinematography is by Matthew Libatique who also did ASIB and I love his style of film making

I don't have critique for the whole movie yet since I haven't finished, but the makeup for when they are getting old is really good so I hope they'll get Oscar nom for that

Also I love the conducting parts, they're really good I thought!

I have no interest into what this movie is about, but will watch in support Bradley

This movie is awful. Bradley Cooper with a fake nose grandstanding the whole film. All of the gay lovers are in the margins. Soppy cancer storyline. Just Oscar-bait of the worst kind.

Yes because some of us (like me) are ignorant to this

I loved it and almost shedded a tear. Leonard Bernstein's work was truly artistic and inspiring. The perspective shots were amazing. The only thing I didn't like was Bradley Cooper's acting...it sounded like he stuck a carrot up his nose during some scenes.

Don't worry because those are not major spoilers and (while I respect everyone's opinion) the film is objectively not awful

I've watched it dubbed in Italian so I've dodged that 😂
