There are so many men — actual, documented men — this film could have been based on but, instead, it puts a woman in the role but gives her all the attributes of those men. That feels antiwoman. To assume that women will either behave identically to men or become hysterical, crazy, insane is to perpetuate something we’ve already seen on film so many times before.

The Sunday Times article reports only one woman (Nathalie Stutzmann in Atlanta) is a music director of an orchestra in the United States.
