Not Much More than Magic in 'Maestro'
In 'Maestro,' we're left with an impression but not with an understanding of the main character.

Emilienne is sixteen years old and lives with autism spectrum disorder. From the theatre stage where her mother shares with us the journey she has taken to come to terms with her daughter's autism, the film takes us on a journey into the teenager's daily life, filmed close to her, and partly by her.

Where we leave the characters is in such a peaceful and optimistic place. It feels well-earned to ensure everyone gets their own specially-crafted happy ending.
It's sexy, regardless of what else is going on.
Overall, Matthias & Maxime doesn't reinvent this romantic concept. But it also doesn't need to. Dolan weaves a story of love, friendship, and life that is both realistic and bittersweet. The film is nuanced and sensual in a way we don't get to see often with LGBTQ characters. It's a film that we can celebrate.
The relationship between Will and Sean is the best part of the movie. It’s always a delight to see Robin Williams on screen
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
