Maestro (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint Maestro is a 129-minute study of the life of an artist, but besides the love story, it doesn’t satisfyingly say much about the artist, his creation or his identity. Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Maestro (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Maestro is a work that celebrates and admires Berstein. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Maestro (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal [Bradley Cooper's] mimicry eventually becomes overbearing. If an actor is working so hard that all the audience can focus on is the work, rather than the character, it’s self-defeating. Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Maestro (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Tanzim Pardiwalla Filmfare Carey Mulligan isn't one to be left behind, delivering a career-best performance... Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Maestro (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film No matter the verdict, it is hard to deny that star and director Bradley Cooper exudes passion for this fearless love story, which is half the battle. Rated: 3/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Maestro (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip Maestro is a surprisingly pedestrian biopic of a force of nature subject.

Laurence G Cinematography and acting was excellent. A-list actors. Builds up to a huge twist that keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering the outcome. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Spencer Nielsen One of the most try-hard movies I’ve seen in a long time. Bradley Cooper puts so much effort into becoming Bernstein, and being the maestro of his production, that he forgets to tell a story, with characters, that is about something. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Robin We enjoyed the movie but felt we needed more information about Bernsteins life. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Robert C Too much of his personal life and not enough of his musical experiences. Also, the presentation was "choppy". Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review FaribaKB Loved the acting, story and the music! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Sylvia Boyd Acting, Acting, Acting. Both lead characters gave Academy Award performances. Director Cooper deserves the same for an amazing first effort directing. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
