Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

For the uninitiated it is a revelation, and for the aficionado it will surely be a special treat. Its every frame is an expression of love for the music, the underground club scene, its creators and its patrons. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Maestro is for people already aware of this history. For everyone else, this is pretty much invitation-only. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Disco gets its due in this lightweight but entertaining look at the underground dance culture that flourished in New York City throughout the 1970s. Read full review

Vince Aletti

Would be all but unbearable without the excited testimony of the young men and women of color who'd spent their happiest nights at the Loft or the Gallery or Paradise Garage. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Anybody involved in the underground scene might get a kick out of Maestro -- but others will likely be bored stiff. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Filmmaker Josell Ramos has his heart in the right place, but his camera is usually in the wrong place, complete with bad lighting and all-around lousy tech credits. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Unfortunately akin to going to a dance club stone cold sober and wearing ear plugs. You get the gist of the general experience, but euphoria is far, far away. Read full review

Wonderfully understated 1950s period Hollywood biopic. Well-written, directed, and acted. Hidden Gem.
