I didn't think they were great, Oscar-candidate films but both were entertaining. Maestro was a bit choppy but it presented some aspects of Bernstein's that were pretty interesting vs. his music and conducting career. I haven't seen Oppenheimer but I intend to. May-December might have been intended for a younger audience but Maestro clearly wasn't, and I doubt Oppenheimer is. It's just a matter of what appeals to you, not how old you are.
