The film centers on the lifelong relationship between the two and the challenges their marriage faced. Cooper also directs the film, which he co-wrote with Josh Singer.

The film also boasts a stellar supporting cast, with many theatre regulars among them. See Matt Bomer as clarinetist David Oppenhiem, a close friend of Bernstein's; Michael Urie as choreographer Jerome Robbins; Gideon Glick as musician Tommy Cothran, a rumored lover of Bernstein's; Maya Hawke as Jamie Bernstein, daughter of Leonard and Felicia; Sarah Silverman as Shirley Bernstein, Leonard's sister; and Miriam Shor as actress and model Cynthia O'Neal.

As awards season heats up, the film has started nabbing several nominations. The Golden Globes came in with four, including Best Picture, Drama, performance nominations for Cooper and Mulligan, and a direction nod for Cooper.

Critics Choice Award nominations include Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Hair and Makeup, as well as a Best Director and Best Actor nominations for Cooper, and a Best Actress nod for Mulligan.
