Nov 07, 2019Seems like musicals don't go well with me. This one did reasonably well though. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga were amazing.familiar s Super Reviewer

Mar 28, 2019This was sort of a weird movie for me. Here's the thing: this movie is manipulative as hell, don't try to deny it. It's tear porn, and it's explicit and deliberate in is manipulative intentions. However, I can't deny that the manipulation works and I was weirdly never bothered by the manipulation. It doesn't have the same sense of grotesque self-importance that something like This is Us on TV or any number of Oscar bait movies past have had in their tear-porn intentions. There's something about A Star is Born that feels much more genuine in its motivations. It feels, dare I say, grittier. I think a big part of that is Bradley Cooper's direction, he makes the whole thing feel real and grounded and keeps us with him. It's an over-the-top and melodramatic story, but somehow he directs it in a way that never feels that way, which is honestly a work of magic on his part. This really isn't the type of movie I'd normally be into, and honestly from the trailers I thought it looked like s***, but hey, when it works it work, and this works.Michael M Super Reviewer

Feb 24, 2019I regret not seeing it in the cinema as the cinematography and music are outstanding. In interviews, Gaga has said the authentic version of herself is the theatrical one we see in concerts and music videos. But, in this movie, we see her raw and that's the version that makes the biggest impact. The film sinks in the middle of the second act.Aldo G Super Reviewer
