I was struck by the extensive digitizing of the faces of both Cooper and Mulligan as the young couple. Cooper's makeup as the older man was quite good, though.

A long and rich life, but still, sorry to read this. Thanks for posting, pherank.

A story on the "toxic" ballet world by Charlotte Lytton in The Daily Telegraph.

Sounds like something they'd name a post-menopause medication here in the States. Oh, dear, now I'm seeing a commercial in my head. ("Maestro can help you during those difficult days and nights of hot flashes and other discomforts. Do not take if you have X, Y, or Z.....") I thought Bernstein was cuter than Cooper as Bernstein.

On Pointe writes; I’d say they married because they loved each other and also Bernstein would have understood that it would be good for him socially and professionally to marry, even if many of his gay friends did not. Bernstein came from an uncommonly close family background and presumably he wanted that for himself as well – not to mention that a wife and children are also another audience 😊. I understand what Ebert was getting at but in the end I don’t agree. I don’t know how you can comment on a picture critically without saying or implying that something about it should have been done differently or that something is missing. As has already been noted in this thread, calling the movie “Maestro” was a major error, given that they’re telling the story of a marriage and Carey Mulligan even gets top billing. A lot of people came to the movie with different expectations. If the movie is about Lenny and Felicia, call it that. AnthonyNYC writes: Very probably yes.

Well, she was young and in love. While Felicia was obviously more sophisticated and better prepared for life with a gay man than many women of that era (Rachel Kempson, for example, thought that Michael Redgrave could be cured by the love of a good woman), I thought one of the better aspects of "Maestro" was that it demonstrated how you can enter a marriage or long-term relationship ostensibly knowing what you're "in for" and still be unable to protect yourself from hurt and loneliness, particularly if you feel with a certain amount of justice that the other party isn't keeping up his end of the bargain. (You can't even say you were deceived.:)) As Jamie has said, her mother married a "tsunami."

Rivera was in her nineties, a very advanced age, and she was in the public eye almost to the end. In such cases of long life the NYT has draft obits and possibly appreciations already prepared. That said, writers can write fast when they have to, and an article of appreciation for both certainly suggests itself (and may appear eventually).

The NYT must have read your post, On Pointe: It may be that the NYT didn't have a draft obit on file for him.
