What a disappointment. What I thought would be an in-depth look into a great composer's life, especially his music, instead seems to focus mostly on the sensationalistic (for those times) parts of his life, i.e. his sexuality. Barely mentioning some of his greatest works. The script for this movie comes across as a desperate attempt to follow in the vein of classic movies such as His Girl Friday or Bringing Up Baby (which were known for their absorbing rapid-fire dialogue). Anyone who is a fan of those movies will know Maestro fails spectacularly in comparison, with the dialogue coming across as erratic and the movie itself an unsuccessful and lackluster imitation. I did not feel any chemistry between Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan, in fact I was bored by the both of them. They both came across as merely doing impressions of the people they were to be portraying.
