It looks gorgous. You can't fault the superb cinematography or design or costumes. The acting is very good - yes there are funny accents but that's how the real people talked. Of course the music is splendid.
The problem is, I think, this: Bernstein's life wasn't that interesting. He was queer, but the wife knew that, he took drugs and boozed, but that feels familiar. He wasn't, I don't know, blacklisted or shot or something. He didn't feel worth of a two hour biopic. To me, at least, I totally recognise others will think differently.
