Maestro

I really wanted to like this movie more than I did. I got bored. I was hoping it would delve more into the mind of Leonard Bernstein, maybe his creative processes…(like show us how he came up with West Side Story!) or his struggle with his sexuality. But instead, it kind of danced around his life without ever going deeper. Like a silly caricature…the couple scenes of him with his daughter or wife where he struggled to hide his true self- were awesome and what I wanted more of. Carey Mulligan was excellent, she deserves the Oscar nom. I love Bradley, but this felt forced…or silly…or something. 4 watch checks. Ryan would for sure fall asleep (I almost did). Rentable.
