AFTER 30:45 it's a full spoiler review
Leonard Bernstein says that a work of art should not answer questions, it should provoke them; I'd say we've done Leonard Bernstein proud as we gave his biopic, fronted by Bradley Cooper, Maelstro, the See It or Skip It treatment. What was our background knowledge of Bernstein going in? Do we sometimes give directors credit for decisions that should go to other members of the creative team? Does Carey Mulligan pass the Barbie or Bust test? What did we think of Cooper's likeness to Bernstein through the prosthetics? Was Leonard Bernstein ever not smoking? We'll answer all these questions on Maestro and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
