“It happens to be true that Leonard Bernstein had a nice, big nose,” they continued. “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.”
The Anti-Defamation League also stated that they didn’t believe the prosthetic nose was antisemitic.
“Throughout history, Jews were often portrayed in antisemitic films and propaganda as evil caricatures with large, hooked noses,” the ADL told People in August. “This film, which is a biopic on the legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein, is not that.”
According to Netflix, the biopic tells the “towering and fearless love story chronicling the lifelong relationship” between Bernstein and his wife Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein (played by Carey Mulligan).
Maestro—which also features Miriam Shor, Maya Hawke, Sarah Silverman and Matt Bomer—is in theaters now and premieres on Netflix Dec. 20.
