Five minutes before his big performance, the Maestro and his mechanical assistant prepare.

Kevin Thomas

Los Angeles Times

Maestro traces the roots of today's global dance-music culture with a passion, knowledge and insight that is as infectious as the music itself.

Rated: 4/5

Clearly, Maestro is for people already aware of this history. For everyone else, this is pretty much invitation-only.

Maps an evocative history of the underground dance music culture of the '70s and '80s.

Ramos is the most exasperating sort of scenester - the guy who keeps telling you how great something is but lacks the skills and inclination to tell you exactly why

Ramos appears not to have learned the cardinal rule of documentary filmmaking: Assume that your audience knows nothing about your subject and needs to be cajoled into caring.

Rated: 2.5/5

Bernstein sounds like NYC. NYC sounds like West Side Story. In the movie no connection between them. Tragedy. Awful movie

<font face="Courier New" size="2"> One of the best! ONE OF THE GREATEST MOST CLEVER, SMARTEST, FUNNIEST ENDING! I never expect that kind of ending. Maybe because he prepared to much for that "job". He even practiced! The story of the film stood up for the whole short film. It is not the animation nor the score but it is the CLEVER, FUNNY UNEXPECTED ENDING. LOL! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You can watch this on Youtube.

Pixar is constantly trying to make shorts this clever. And they are constantly failing.
