"If the summer doesn't sing in you, then nothing sings in you. And if nothing sings in you, then you can't make music."

For our fourth week focusing on Best Actress nominees at the 96th Academy Awards, we are discussing Carey Mulligan in Bradley Cooper's 2023 biopic, Maestro. This film focuses on the marriage between Leonard Bernstein, the first great American composer and a closeted bisexual man, and his wife Felicia Montealegre, a successful actress -- played by Bradley and Carey.

This week, we discuss our feelings on the film -- we consider ourselves professionals on biopics at this points -- as well as Carey's knockout performance and what we felt was maybe lacking in the development of Bernstein's character. We also introduce a new segment in which we evoke some Letterboxd reviews in order to provoke our discussion.

Join us as we discuss one of our favourite performances of this Oscars season!

Next Week's Film: Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
