If you're seeking an effective method to induce sleep, "Maestro" might just be your answer. It baffles me how this profoundly dull film received any Oscar nominations; whoever was responsible for that decision really missed the mark. The acting, despite “popular” opinion, struck me as exaggerated and just annoyingly frantic. I feel as though the positive reviews, in a sympathetic effort, were all written by the cast members themselves or their friends and family. I’d rather count the grains in a sack of rice or watch paint dry.
