HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 3.0/5.0
Rating: 3.0/5.0

“Maestro” is not much of a linear biography but a series of scenes in the conductor’s life having to do with this relationship with his wife Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligan). From their early days to the end, Lenny and Felicia had a difficult and fiery relationship, while through agreement they ignore Bernstein’s penchant for gay relationships. In the meantime, Leonard Bernstein had a legendary music career, which included conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and writing the music for West Side Story.

”Maestro” is in theaters on December 1st. Featuring Bradley Cooper, Carey Mulligan, Matt Bomer, Michael Urle and Sarah Silverman. Written by Bradley Cooper and Josh Singer. Directed by Bradley Cooper. Rated “R”
