Maestro (2023)

Bradley Cooper directs himself, Carey Mulligan and Sarah Silverman in this biopic of composer / conductor Leonard Bernstein.

A vanity project where the bold camera choices are declarative. At the the expense of the directorial intention which is often incoherent. Only begins to fix on the central relationship in a tangible way in the third act. By then, I was watching through gritted teeth.
