"From Jamie, Alexander, and Nina Bernstein: Bradley Cooper included the three of us along every step of his amazing journey as he made his film about our father. "We were touched to the core to witness the depth of his commitment, his loving embrace of our father's music, and the sheer open-hearted joy he brought to his exploration. It breaks our hearts to see any misrepresentations or misunderstandings of his efforts. "It happens to be true that Leonard Bernstein had a nice, big nose. Bradley chose to use makeup to amplify his resemblance, and we're perfectly fine with that. We're also certain that our dad would have been fine with it as well. "Any strident complaints around this issue strike us above all as disingenuous attempts to bring a successful person down a notch -- a practice we observed all too often perpetrated on our own father. "At all times during the making of this film, we could feel the profound respect and yes, the love that Bradley brought to his portrait of Leonard Bernstein and his wife, our mother Felicia."Maestro also stars Carey Mulligan as Felicia Montealegre, Bernstein's wife. Matt Bomer, Maya Hawke, and Sarah Silverman also appear in supporting roles. It's set to release on Netflix on December 20. You can check out the trailer below.
