It's a tale of two movies - the first half is spectacular and spine-tingling. But as soon as she finds her success, it gets torpedoed. I thought she'd turn into an Amy Winehouse kind of singer, but her eventual path is highly disappointing.It's a tale of two movies - the first half is spectacular and spine-tingling. But as soon as she finds her success, it gets torpedoed. I thought she'd turn into an Amy Winehouse kind of singer, but her eventual path is highly disappointing. Even Cooper's directing choices take a few poor turns in the latter half. It's worth seeing, but nowhere near what the critics are saying it is.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga make brilliant debuts in their respective fields. The movie takes you in with its compelling story of a young singer just starting her career and falling in love and then hits you hard with all its emotional twists and turns, until you finally let out a tear at the very end. With great acting, directing and music, this movies is one everyone should watch.… Expand

I was not ready for the emotions I felt watching this film. It will stick with me forever. The acting, singing, and direction was all perfection.

A romance & musical well done with two nice surprises : the actress (Lady Gaga) and Cooper as a singer. It's a beautiful Hollywood movie, just the kind of tale everyone likes to see.

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are outstanding, and their songs and singing in this gave me some serious goosebumps so many times! They're the onscreen couple of the year as far as I'm concerned! And the fact that Cooper directed this as well is nothing short of impressive! Also a word of caution: Bringing some Kleenex for the film's third act is definitely not a bad idea. Overall, apart from a few familiar plot points, this film is fresh, beautiful, and full of energy and emotion! It's a film for anyone with dreams, big or small, and there isn't any other film this year so far that I can recommend higher than this!… Expand

A surprisingly excellent movie. The chemistry between Gaga and Cooper is outstanding. Second half of the movie has a huge and questionable tone shift, but the soundtrack is spectacular.

A great movie worth watching. Bradley Cooper is excellent both as an actor & first time director. Lady Gaga is an excellent vocalist and her acting efforts are not that bad!

More importantly, it's their love story is a beautiful combination of perfect chemistry and wonderful performances. Gaga is astounding with charisma and subtlety that's continually captivating. Of course, her singing (done live) is spectacular (the song's are strong too). This is probably Cooper's best performance, he lays out his character with magnetism and raw emotion. Being an accomplished actor pays off when it came to Cooper directing the film. Not only has he elicited poignant moments from every member of the cast (with lots of lingering closeups), he's skillfully created an appealing narrative (the strong script helps). My only complaint is that the ending, although sad, didn't move me. Otherwise, this film features 2 wonderfully-compelling performances in a truly touching love story.… Expand

The first half of the film is almost perfectly constructed and Director Bradley Cooper has done a superb job in giving us a feel for the places and characters, an achievement that carries right through to the film's end. The problems arise mainly within the screenplay, the story of which is so familiar that the opposing fortunes of the two lead characters are predictably delineated in scenes that are clipped and rather awkwardly written. This aside though, there is a hell of a lot to admire and enjoy. Lady Gaga makes an impressive debut and is especially good when in her element performing the musical numbers. Dramatically she is no slouch either. There is also a very fine turn from Sam Elliott as Cooper's put upon brother. However, the real news and star being born here is Bradley Cooper. Wearing at least four hats as producer, Director writer and star, he excels in at least three of these roles. Not only is his direction fluid and rich, creating a milieu that is totally believable and enveloping, but his performance is also incredible. Who knew? Definitely the best of his career thus far. It is due to him that the film reaches some real emotional highs.
On the production side the cinematography of Matthew Libatique is stunning and the music delivers as we knew it would. At least three of the original songs have a chance at an Oscar win come March and my personal favourite 'I'll Never Love Again' perfectly closes a film, that whilst not perfect itself, is almost certain to endure and improve with age and repeated viewings. Eat your heart out Barbra.… Expand
