Audience Says

Maestro's Oscar-worthy acting and impressive cinematography keep things engaging despite a flawed narrative that won't teach viewers much about Bernstein's cultural impact.

Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint Maestro is a 129-minute study of the life of an artist, but besides the love story, it doesn’t satisfyingly say much about the artist, his creation or his identity. Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Maestro is a work that celebrates and admires Berstein. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal [Bradley Cooper's] mimicry eventually becomes overbearing. If an actor is working so hard that all the audience can focus on is the work, rather than the character, it’s self-defeating. Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Tanzim Pardiwalla Filmfare Carey Mulligan isn't one to be left behind, delivering a career-best performance... Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film No matter the verdict, it is hard to deny that star and director Bradley Cooper exudes passion for this fearless love story, which is half the battle. Rated: 3/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Tony Macklin tonymacklin.net Maestro is pretentious from the very start. Rated: 4/10 Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Spencer Nielsen One of the most try-hard movies I’ve seen in a long time. Bradley Cooper puts so much effort into becoming Bernstein, and being the maestro of his production, that he forgets to tell a story, with characters, that is about something. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Robin We enjoyed the movie but felt we needed more information about Bernsteins life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Robert C Too much of his personal life and not enough of his musical experiences. Also, the presentation was "choppy". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review FaribaKB Loved the acting, story and the music! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Sylvia Boyd Acting, Acting, Acting. Both lead characters gave Academy Award performances. Director Cooper deserves the same for an amazing first effort directing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Lisa Loved the acting, the story, the honesty Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
