The whole plot of a movie could be more well executed, I'd rather say the plot could be gripping but the poor writing, worst screen play and banal scenarios have ruined this film through and through. The writing of characters was too weak that the moments where actors have to show their grieves and emotional turmoil seemed uncooked and bit less emotional more rehearsed. Julione Moore's character could be better in terms of representation and writing, while on the other hand Charles Melton was bit convincing in his role but the depth that has to be there to perform such an intricate character was missing. The biggest weakest point of this movie was Natalie Portman, her acting was so flat you could never feel like she is portraying her character seriously. There was nothing for her in this movie because her lines and her appearance was too stoic at times you feel irritation when she comes on the screen, again I would say the main flaw was in writing but as an actor you have certain responsibilities and having such a magnanimous career and have had that exposure where you can tell such intricate stories you would rather speak to add depth and find connection soo that your audience feels it with you and you feel it with your characters

Well, what I have heard about this film and what I have experienced are two disparate things. Everyone was applauding Bradely Copper's performance which is exceptional and compelling but in true essence Carry Mulligan has stolen the show with her smile, her subtlety in tough scenes where she outshines and shows us that this film Maestro would be incomplete without her just like Leonard's life story would incomplete without Felicia. Carry has done such an extraordinary work here that you just get mesmerized whenever she comes over the screen though some shots are so hasten cut to the next that I couldn't find the coherence. I think Bradely is a good actor and he has performed Leonard Bernstein's character so convincingly that you can get captivated but at times I felt Bradely was focused more about Leo's life and not about him, what others are getting out of his behaviour but not about what he is dealing within. A part from that I have seen a better version on the celluloid of Bradely, that is not just he is a great actor but he is wonderful director that has taken this tremendous job on his shoulders and done an incredibly commendable work which makes him a prolific artist. This film is good because of the great performances and an exceptional direction though the supporting cast roles could have been written with more gravitas but all in all this movie Maestro is surely deserves every recognition.
