To say Bradley Cooper threw himself into his work is an understatement. He is a marvel to behold. The actor was operating with a spot-on imitation of Bernstein’s vocal annunciations, inflections, cadence, and tone. Read more

While several layers of polish are indeed evident, Maestro is a film that soars early and often, via moments of glamorous cinematic muscle-flexing and intimate soul searching. Read more

As a story of one performer who discovers they can't live in the shadow of a fellow artist who burns too brightly, Maestro is a better version of A Star is Born than Cooper's actual take on that oft-told tale. Read more

Maestro is dan ook een triomf van emotionele storytelling, versterkt door stellaire acteerprestaties en een visueel verbluffende cinematografie. Cooper en Mulligan geven een masterclass in acteren in een film die zowel het hart als de geest raakt. Read more
