My dad and me just went to see this a few days ago, I agree very much, really really beautiful movie, and amazing acting from both leads. My dad was working summer job during Bernstein’s last couple of summers at Tanglewood, and even having seen him in person, he thought Bradley Cooper was incredibly close. We were curious what actual orchestral musician would think of his conducting in the big Mahler scene? He looked very much like video recordings i’ve seen, but I have almost no experience actually trying to follow conducting cues haha
