I can't say I expected to be this engaged with a film where the main character is a conductor in an orchestra. Bradley Cooper's impressive performance makes one entertain the idea that he is himself a musician in his free time. The music oozes out of his every gesture, even his smile. It moves through your bones, like we are given the absolute pleasure of receiving the song the real Bernstein was blessed with. This deeply emotional and certainly educational, musical slash complex queer romance rivals Sound Of Music in its truly iconic core and magnetic powerfulness.
The supporting cast completes the epic, weaving the romantic subplot perfectly. Carey Mulligan assists in telling the story of Bernsteins married life with the pains and the gains thereof, whilst Matt Bomer flexes his metamorphosis of expression. His eyes continue to amaze with their transcendence and acrobatic volume. It is not hard to remember how bright blue they would be with color added. One can see it.
This movie needed to exist, and Hollywood's finest creators did not disappoint in their conducting or composing of Lenny's immortal skills in spreading the gospel of music. Bradley Cooper should truly have won the Oscar. There's always next time.
