After "Promising Young Woman", writer/director Emerald Fennell had some big shoes to fill. That film was subversive and a big swing, especially with its ending. It is the same with Fennell's new film "Saltburn" though it does take the same horror/thriller spin but with a much more devious character.

The context of an artist comes in the ideas that they want to convey. The rights to Leonard Bernstein's life is one of a necessity of a musician content in the possibility of himself and the vivacity of life but sometimes unable to control the more complex portions of social reality. Writer/Director/Star Bradley Cooper has created a beautiful at times, though disjointed at others portrait of this man, flawed in many ways, angelic in others and yet elusive.
