Ryan Lattanzio indieWire To the film's credit, this autobiographically sketched collage is more about Bernstein's political commitments and conducting genius than his celebrity and a peek into his inner, philosophizing, often tormented life. Rated: B- Sep 23, 2021 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A pleasant time spent with an eloquent and insightful man, captured in a film that does justice to his legacy. Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Todd Gilchrist TheWrap Its feverishly edited concert footage and first-person interviews deliver a slightly dizzying chronology of Bernstein's life, but Tirola does an exceptional job of showcasing the irrefutable truth that he contained a few more multitudes than most. Sep 3, 2021 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A frequent, gifted public speaker, his audio recordings basically narrate his own story here, illustrated by copious archival materials. Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture For both devoted fans and interested newcomers, "Bernstein's Wall" is an illuminating look at one of the most celebrated composers of the 20th century, told entirely through his own words. Rated: 7/10 May 18, 2022 Full Review Christian Gallichio The Playlist Tirola's film is a sustained and streamlined dive into someone who, despite his ostentatious profession, distilled classical music down to its political roots and, in the process, became a household name.
