The Maestro (2022)
Dr. Arun, genius composer, conductor, and madman, has been fired from every major orchestra in Europe and returns to his native Thailand where he takes a humiliating job teaching a youth ensemble. When his chance to conduct his masterpiece on a world-wide live stream is snatched away by celeb conductor Walter Paisley, he and a pair of child prodigies set up their own orchestra in a ruined mansion and, as the Covid crisis takes over the country, begin luring - and eventually abducting - young musicians to create a musical Eden in the wilderness. But things go horribly wrong.

Reviews
good back-story, and good acting
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
