While the title Maestro Afdah might suggest that the film revolves solely around Leonard, one of the aspects I truly admire about the narrative is the central role played by Carey Mulligan's character, Felicia. Cooper and writer Josh Singer skillfully avoid allowing Leonard's larger-than-life story to overshadow the significance of this remarkable woman. Felicia, an artist in her own right, served as a stabilizing force, offering unwavering support and making sacrifices that enabled Leonard to cultivate his genius and ultimately become the iconic figure we revere today.
