Insulting to Actual Musicians

Rating: 2/10 (18 May 2020)

I'm not sure what the creators of this were thinking, I suppose they were relying on the general public's ignorance, and based on the average User Rating, it worked.
Every scene involving classical music in the movie was a joke, and was deeply insulting to me. The Juilliard school would never accept the character of Evan because his music is crap, especially his orchestra piece. The New York Philharmonic wouldn't have a guest artist play such an easy cello piece, and certainly wouldn't have a guest artist who couldn't play perfectly in tune. Evan messed up conducting multiple times. The list goes on.
For someone who heard music all around him in New York, Evan's orchestra piece sounds like it came out of the CPE. Listen to composer Eliot Carter, who actually did use New York as inspiration, and compare the music.
Very annoying to watch, but perhaps even more annoying was reading the high ratings reviews given by the public.
