I thought it was ok overall, not terribly exciting, but it was an interesting story based on a true story

Maybe you could find it interesting if you are a musician, otherwise, it isn't, it's really boring

I thought this was a really insightful and enjoyable piece about master composer Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and I think both music-lovers and those who love period pieces like myself will enjoy. Fantastic set design and production value and a great performance by Xander Berkeley. Time well spent.

Interested in post-war LA, music or character studies? See this. Wanna just see some solid acting...an interesting story? The Maestro is your film! A theatre is an empty space filled with dreams. Music fills space and time. The Maestro is where the two meet. 🎭 Three cheers for Xander Berkeley (as the composer, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco) and to director Adam Cushman.

Los Angeles Times

Still, amid the glorious music, the fine period re-creation and burnished photography, the emotionally sound portrayal of artistic endeavor and that award-worthy turn by Berkeley, "The Maestro" often scores.

A respectable low-key tribute to the talented composer...

The earnest but very modest pic will play best with film-score buffs, though most in that community will wish for a bigger focus (or any, really) on their heroes.

The student-teacher dynamic here is intriguing -- and not in the obvious way.
