Review: ‘Maestro’ leaves Bernstein’s greatest notes unplayed

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:38:24 GMT

By Jake Coyle | Associated PressBradley Cooper’s “Maestro,” a high-wire act of a biopic, leaps constantly between on stage and off, flying through Leonard Bernstein’s very public life as a conductor while diving into his more private marriage to Felicia Montealegre.
