Although Meghan McCain, a former anchor of The View, was displeased that the movie interfered with her Christmas vacation, she did not support Bradley Cooper’s biopic Maestro, despite its Oscar anticipation.
“Last night, I watched Maestro, and it was so difficult for me to watch.” I’m annoyed that, when viewing it with my two small children at night, I squandered the little spare time I had,” the opinionated anchor wrote.”Why are so many Oscar buzz movies like this and so disappointing?” the conservative pundit asked, challenging the excitement around the film. “For whom are these films intended?”
Despite her critique, Maestro received a great deal of praise from both reviewers and audiences, which helped the movie get nominated for an Oscar.
The Hangover star informed his fellow filmmaker Spike Lee about his stringent rule on Variety’s Directors on Directors, saying, “I feel like your energy dips the minute you sit down.”
Bradley discussed in other parts of the interview how working on Maestro drastically altered his approach to filmmaking.
Speaking about Maestro, he remarked, “I will say this: I grew up on this movie.” As an artist, it altered me.”
“I carried out my vision precisely,” And that’s what happened when she had so much time to write, reflect, and be ready for her role in the film.”
