Bradley Cooper plays the talented Leonard Bernstein in MAESTRO, a Netflix film Cooper also co-wrote and directed. The movie is an exuberant and crushing drama that focuses on the highs and lows of Bernstein’s relationship with the woman he married plus on several strong scenes that recreate his energetic musical triumphs. Cooper should get Oscar nominations for his brilliant writing, acting, and directing. And Carey Mulligan, as the Broadway actress who married Bernstein, is simply stunning. MAESTRO is a tour de force, one of the best movies of the year. (Netflix only)
