    Feels way longer than its 2 hour and 37 minute runtime. The suspense begins with a very tense back-and-forth conversation via fax.

    Stressful! Our cats watched this intently, right along side us.

    The scene where Cooper as Bernstein is conducting Mahler’s Symphony No.2 is pure movie magic. Much of the rest felt unfocused and too surface level with a lot of weird beats. Bernstein pulling up to class blaring the REM song that name checks him was a facepalm, as were the entirely unnecessary prosthetics, aaand when hair and makeup turned Cooper into a George Hamilton doppelgänger. I guess that’s all just (jazz hands) SHOWBIZ..!
