The term "Jewface" carries a negative connotation, denoting the depiction of Jewish individuals in stereotypical or inauthentic manners.

Leonard Bernstein's family however, has supported Bradley Cooper's choice to wear a prominent prosthetic nose while portraying the Jewish composer in the film, despite the controversy.

Bernstein's three children expressed approval of Cooper's use of makeup to enhance his resemblance to their late father.
