The TVI Take
Best Picture and Best Actor nominee (Bradley Cooper). Portrait of Leonard Bernstein's marriage and creative life.
Moderate cognitive demands from the nonlinear structure spanning decades. Educational value from the musical and cultural history. Cooper's directing and performance are technically accomplished, and Carey Mulligan matches him beat for beat.
