Maestro

While Rebecca was out at bookclub tonight I took that as an opportunity to watch a film. I'm still playing Oscar catch-up and Maestro was next on my list (and readily available on streaming services). And I mean... There's always one dud on the Best Film list. I can't remember the last time I watched a biopic and left having learnt so little about the subject. Though the film smartly weighted the film's focus on Bernstein's marriage and partner, it comes at the cost of knowing what his impact was outside of his family life. Despite some good performances, camera work and costume/makeup I was left feeling a little hollow.
