Couldn't see the Maestro's hand no matter how hard I watched. It's very slick and does nothing wrong but it doesn't too much right either. The production values and acting are spot on but there are holes in the script and the jokes and values telegraph themselves way before.

However, don't take it too much to heart (I am 48) and my niece was entranced. Nice to see The Maestro changing genres again and I hope for my niece it is the same experience I had with After Hours which virtually changed my world view when I saw it as a seventeen-year-old.

Anyway, nice to see he's still working.
