Prepare for some amazing music and heart-breaking moments. Still, I think the last part of the story should be a little longer, to be perfect.

A musical that tells the tragedy in an almost masterly way. Touching deep issues such as the vice that comes from depression, and suffering as a result of the disease. 79.4 / 100 (7)

Making his directorial debut, Bradley Cooper not only delivers a worthy film, but also an ode to the death of true artistry.

Sure, A STAR IS BORN is nothing new under the Arizona sun, yet something in the way that it executes its narrativeMaking his directorial debut, Bradley Cooper not only delivers a worthy film, but also an ode to the death of true artistry.

Sure, A STAR IS BORN is nothing new under the Arizona sun, yet something in the way that it executes its narrative not only makes it fresh and authentic but more importantly relevant to a 2018 audience.

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga fuse their considerable talents to depict the raw and passionate tale of Jack and Ally, two artistic souls coming together, on stage and in life. Theirs is a complex journey through the beauty and the heartbreak of a relationship struggling to survive.

As Jack’s stardom and fame start to fall apart due to his pills and fading relevance, Ally’s starts to grow, though not without slowly chipping away at her true self.

The screenplay, which is co-written by Cooper along with Eric Roth and Will Fetters, invites the audience on a journey that anyone who has been in a whirlwind relationship can empathize with. The consequences of lost lives crashing into each other, from fears, joys, doubts, anger, hopes, are all so intimately visualized within every line of dialogue, every bar of music, and every moment of silence.

Adding onto the layer of love, comes the ugliness of what it means to be both a seasoned star and a rising star in the entertainment business today and the amount of pressure, sacrifice, and pain that comes along with it.

This is extremely powerful and apropos to a 2018 audience, who is mostly interested in fame and the amount of followers and attention they get from social media.

A STAR IS BORN does not show the dream as it has been shown throughout the decades of Hollywood films, Cooper breaks that wheel, pulls the curtain, and surely puts his own personal experiences - he has been in the industry for years - onto the page and fearlessly projects them onto the screen.

From a nostalgic perspective, this film reminded of old Hollywood romantic films, that last decades by activating audiences’ emotions and imprinting themselves deep within the hearts of all who witness them.

Cooper’s embodiment of layered and haunted Jackson Maine is some of the best on screen performance in his entire career - this is Oscar-level delivery here and Cooper knows it.

When it comes to Lady Gaga’s characterization of Ally, there were moments where the character slipped away from her and you were looking at Gaga and not Ally - but those moments were few and do little harm to the overall power of the film.

Whenever the two shared screen-time, it was pure magic, as the chemistry between Cooper and Gaga oozes off the screen and it is sure to melt any cynic’s heart.

One cannot walk away without applauding the rest of the cast including veteran actor Sam Elliot who plays Jack’s older brother, whose seen him in and through, the best and worst of times, and Anthony Ramos, who plays Ally’s best friend and cheerleader Ramon.

Cooper and director of photography Matthew Libatique use this almost first-person perspective throughout the film giving the audience the ability to experience the intoxicating energy of performing live before a crowd. During all the concert scenes, no wide shots are ever used, instead the camera stays on stage with the performers looking out onto the massive crowds while capturing the interactions between the singers.

The lens lived inside the performance.

Yet, it was not just the lens that created this overwhelmingly powerful effect throughout the film - the sound design was also architected in a way that allowed for seamless transitions from backstage to centerstage.

To add to that, the musical performances were recorded live which meant that every crackle, cheer, and note was sharply heard.

At its core, the film is not only a story about love, it is a fight for love and staying true to oneself, and how difficult that can be when trying to balance it with one’s ambitions and the merciless entertainment industry.

There is no doubt that A STAR IS BORN will garner multiple Oscar nods including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor/Actress, and Best Song/Soundtrack. Until then, we are all sure to watch this film over and over again ensuring that we all off the deep end and our feet never touch the ground.

A STAR IS BORN stars Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga; directed by Bradley Cooper; produced by Bill Gerber, Jon Peters, Bradley Cooper, Todd Phillips and Lynette Howell Taylor; the screenplay was written by Oscar winner Eric Roth (“Forrest Gump”) and Bradley Cooper & Will Fetters.… Expand

The most amazing thing about this film is that while it has many firsts going on, it does not feel like it: Bradley Cooper's directorial and writing debut, but more impressive was Lady Gaga's debut performance as the timid but aspiring AllyThe most amazing thing about this film is that while it has many firsts going on, it does not feel like it: Bradley Cooper's directorial and writing debut, but more impressive was Lady Gaga's debut performance as the timid but aspiring Ally which was absolutely stunning (not that Cooper's disturbed Jackson Maine was any worse). Sure, Cooper had two previous remakes to inspire from, but still! Both him and Gaga are the stars of this picture carrying the story nicely.

The reason why I think this version is the best, is because of how effective and true are the issues which it deals with nowadays. The gap between quality, artful music and superficial, commercial pop was never as big as it is today. Watching the troubled, drug, alcohol and pill-infused Jack struggle with connecting with this modern world was especially sad. But while the story it presents is as old as show-business itself, the visions each characters have about it is vastly different. Jack feels guilty for what Ally has become, even if she basks in success. She is a bonafide pop star along with backup dancers and a 'hip' manager who wears modern ankle-socks; something that Jack was quick to notice.

Sure, Ally struggled to keep from becoming a plastic, industrial star, but the appreciation she gets is powerful enough to feed her insecurity, so she just goes with the flow. I am also especially happy that Lady Gaga got to play Ally because her career more or less followed the same path Ally did. From insecurity she became a flashy pop star and now a mature woman. But beneath this analysis that I did here, this is simply a beautiful film to watch.

The music scenes are great, the way Ally jumps in and starts singing "Shallow", a great song, by the way, is truly powerful and glorious. Every supporting character offers true insight and beyond the tragedy closing in at the end of the film, Jack becoming more and more disconnected with the current world, Ally, his legacy, is there. She is content, and that is a triumph.… Expand

A strong directorial debut

The fourth version of the template (the fifth if you count What Price Hollywood? from 1932), this particular remake is written by Bradley Cooper, Eric Roth, and Will Fetters, and directed by Cooper, who sticksA strong directorial debut

The fourth version of the template (the fifth if you count What Price Hollywood? from 1932), this particular remake is written by Bradley Cooper, Eric Roth, and Will Fetters, and directed by Cooper, who sticks pretty close to the beats of the previous versions. Jackson Maine (Cooper) is a fading drug-addicted and alcoholic country and western singer suffering from tinnitus, who is just about being held together by his tour manager and elder brother, Bobby (an exceptional Sam Elliott). When Maine encounters Ally Campana (Lady Gaga), he's impressed by her singing abilities, and at his next show, he brings her on stage to sing one of her own songs. Joining him on tour, they soon they begin a romance, but as Ally's popularity grows, Maine begins to voice disapproval.

So, to begin with some aspects which I disliked. The first half is markedly superior to the second, which comes down to pacing issues and editing rhythm. Whereas the first half really takes its time in setting up the characters and their relationship, the second half often feels rushed, offering a highlight reel of events spread out over many months, without really giving any of them time to breathe. Another issue, and one which I recognise I'm in the minority regarding, is that I found Gaga's performance a mixed bag. Essentially doing a Barbra Streisand impression, she doesn't really go any way towards showing us why this young woman would want to be with an alcoholic twice her age (apart from the fact that he's good for her career). Gaga never lets us see her fall in love with him, despite the framework being right there in the script.

I also had some problems with the gender politics. As is the case with all previous versions of the story, although the woman is ostensibly the lead, the man's troubles are the focus of the narrative, with the template inviting the audience to pity the man more than admire the woman. Indeed, Ally is controlled and manipulated by men from start to finish, and the entire story is predicated on the fact that she needs a man's help to make her breakthrough. In this sense, it might have been interesting to reverse the genders. It would probably be automatically criticised by the type of men who downvote anything gender progressive, but it would have been an interesting modern spin on an old story.

To counter that suggestion, however, and move onto what I liked about the film, it could be argued that by effectively maintaining the themes of the previous iterations of the story, the film is simply embracing its histrionic Classical Hollywood genesis, unapologetically retelling a traditional story in much the same manner as it was originally conceived.

Copper's direction is also pretty impressive, giving the rock world milieu a sense of lived-in verisimilitude, in what is probably the most vibrantly realistic portrayal of the music industry since Almost Famous (2000). For the most part, Cooper as director is invisible, which makes sense, given the nature of the story (the ominous nooses seen hanging above Maine on a billboard are a little over the top, however). For the most part, he strikes a fine balance between over-the-top showbiz fantasy, populated by larger-than-life characters and cartoonish histrionics, and a more grounded romance about the sacrifices one may have to make for the person one loves. To cite just one example of this dichotomy, the scenes which introduce the two leads are as far as you can imagine from razzmatazz - Maine is shown alone in a green room popping pills before staggering onto stage, and Ally is shown in a toilet cubicle breaking up with her boyfriend over the phone.

All things considered, A Star is Born is an impressive directorial debut, and is probably the best of the four versions of the story (it's certainly better than the 1937 and 1976 versions). Signalling the arrival of an interesting new directorial voice, I didn't think it was as good as a lot of people, finding it a little too disposable at times, but I certainly enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to whatever Cooper does next.… Expand

And while on the subject of vocals, Bradley Cooper suprised me and was able to meet the high expectations you get when advertising a movie about music featuring Lady Gaga. Another home run was the casting of Sam Elliot, who seems to so fit for this part that it seems to have been written for his person.

A Star is Born has many meanings within its own movie. Lady Gaga could be a new Hollywood born star, Bradley Cooper could be a new Nashville born star and also the new star of directing. Since the movie has debuted, Gaga and Cooper already have reached number one on the Digital Song Sales chart, according to Nielsen Music, with their song “Shallow”. When the award ceremonies begin this year, we will soon have an answer to the future of the two stars. The movie introduces Cooper’s character, Jackson Maine, “Jack”, as he is standing side stage washing drugs down with hard liquor immediately before running out to the front of the stage, grabbing the microphone and singing the next song in his set. After the concert, he enters his limo and asks his driver to take him to the nearest a bar in search of alcohol. The driver abides and within a couple of minutes, Jack stumbles into a bar. Jack buys a drink and soon discovers Ally when she steps on stage and performs a song. They spend the night flirting, bar-hopping and falling for each other. He pursues her as she plays hard to get.

Soon Ally caves in when Jack surprises her by sending a limo for her to whisk her away to a concert of his. Once she is at the concert and standing backstage watching Jack perform, he surprises her again by coaxing her on stage to sing a song she sang to him while they were out the night before. A Star is Born, and Ally is immediately catapulted into stardom. Have you ever dreamed of putting aside your fears and following your dreams, and in this case, of being a rock star? If so, this is the moment in the movie where you get hooked and place yourself in Ally’s shoes. The moment is conducted well and pulls the audience in. As Jack is trying to pull her onto the stage the audience can feel Ally’s emotions, she is frightened to go, says no and then she hesitantly says the heck with it, figures it is now or never, and walks out onto the stage. I could feel myself holding my breath, feeling frightened for her, nervous and excited.

Without giving the rest of the movie away, Cooper and Gaga have an amazing chemistry of which convinces and pulls the audience into Jack and Ally’s world. The overall movie takes twists and turns as we watch Ally’s career grow and Jacks career shift from unstable to rolling downhill. The movie is a rollercoaster of emotions. It speaks to several audiences and needless to say, when complete, not dry eye in the house. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are several awards won by both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper for their performance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was ruined at the very end when all of the blame is placed by Jackson Maine's brother on Jackson himself, and not on Lady Gaga's agent Rez who led her away from musical integrity into cheap but successful commercialism. Inside Jackson's own house, Rez devastates him with the cruelest comments imaginable, uttered coldly and calculatedly, starting with "we are not friends here." Why was Rez not blamed for the tragic outcome, and why is all the blame put on Jackson? Because Rez realistically represents commercial corruption in the music industry as well as in Hollywood. Bradley Cooper was either unwilling or was told not to confront Hollywood directly. So Rez gets off morally scot-free, and the movie is destroyed in infuriating fashion at its close. This was also a horrible thing to do to potentially suicidal people, putting all of the blame on them. For me, it turned a nine-star movie into a four-star.… Expand

This movie is entertaining. There are lots of thingsThere's a real chance that this is a pretty good "bad movie." Sure, it will win awards. But so did American Beauty. And nobody looks back on that as a great film. Don't get me wrong. This movie is entertaining. There are lots of things to like. But there's also some pretty annoying stuff and some questionable decisions. Like Cooper playing a "rock" star who rose to fame in the 2000s--when guitar rock is all but dead. Unless he sounded like the Strokes it makes no sense that he toured Europe for the first time in 2004 (as said in the movie). The manager who represents Gaga's character is basically a two dimensional villain. And some of the songs--especially the last one, which is supposed to be poignant--are awful. The whole thing has the feel of someone trying really, really hard to make an award winning movie. Not necessarily a good one.

But it's still fun. And often funny. It's definitely something that will be worth re-watching over and over when it lands on a streaming service. It'd put it alongside a movie like Titanic. Not great. But pretty fun. And it will will a bunch of awards. And people will kind of wonder why in two decades.… Expand

La primer experiencia de Bradley Cooper como director nos da una película memorable y encantadora, la química que tiene él como protagonista y Lady Gaga trasciende y nos vende esta historia de amor que se crea en el contexto de los escenariosLa primer experiencia de Bradley Cooper como director nos da una película memorable y encantadora, la química que tiene él como protagonista y Lady Gaga trasciende y nos vende esta historia de amor que se crea en el contexto de los escenarios y giras musicales.
La historia nos introduce a Jack, un músico que esta lidiando con problemas de alcohol y una inevitable perdida de la audición, tras un recital decide hacer una parada por una bebida y se encuentra con Ally, una chica frustrada en el ambiente musical que logra cautivarlo por su voz y su creatividad.
La película es una historia de amor a pesar de la adversidad, de como una persona puede llevar a su pareja hacia nuevos caminos por el sólo hecho de que uno cree en el otro, y viceversa. Sin lugar a dudas uno de los puntos más fuertes es la actuación de Lady Gaga como Ally, en su primer participación como actriz principal da todo de ella y nos da una credibilidad en cuanto al amor de su personaje por su pareja. La música es muy interesante desde letras profundas a ritmos que enganchan la banda sonora cumple un gran rol.
Una gran historia de amor, recomendable para quienes gustan de éste género o quieren probarlo, la película se hace sentir corta porque entretiene en todo momento.… Expand

A WORTHY DEBUT


Bradley Cooper has grown himself mature, as an actor from movies like Hangover, Limitless and the movies from MCU to making his directorial debut that throws him and Lady Gaga right in the spotlight where they both belong. With the same story about hat has been put on display before, this enrich a classic tale in a different light, enrich make it one of today best and most entertaining piece in the music genre. Somehow Cooper makes all the chaos and despair grasp these two character in the most relevant way.

Lady Gaga show a more immature performance until she outgrow to become the female pop icon. As she sings on the stages, you can see patterns of the artist behind it. You’ll love the power of her sings but not all in  her performance. It is a little bit unsteady as she really tries her best to make her character likeable. Sometime it does work, sometimes it really doesn't. The thing is, with this movie, is that you know who is the good and briljant actor, and who is not that famous for being a good actor. Bradley Cooper show a different side of himself in this movie and as a director. It also levels up good as his and Lady Gaga's chemistry is quite nice where you can almost feel them sparkle at the screen...… Expand

And now for what I think was the centerpiece of this film, Lady Gaga just wows, it is incredible to see her perform like this in her first serious role and her first ever lead, she delivered a heartwrenching performance that captured her own real-life persona, in other words, she played herself in a way, it felt natural and seamless and effortless and in my opinion she really outperformed Bradley Cooper, which brings me to his role which he excelled at playing as he incorporates his vision as a director into the character that he played, you can actually feel that he's in command of his performance as he knows exactly what to do to complement Gaga's performance, one thing that really made it what it is, is the chemistry between the two leads, their love story is charismatic and charming and I really enjoyed watching that unfold.

Cooper does a really good job of framing this film in the right way, you can see that he carefully picks his scenes and just let the leads draw the scene and I felt like that worked perfectly.

A Star is Born is a dreamy downright exhilarating film that leaves with a timeless good impression, it's just magical to watch.… Expand

“We’re Far From the Shallow Now”

I was skeptical when I saw the trailer for A Star is Born; it seemed like just a big budget vanity project for Bradley Cooper who stars, co-writes, directs, and sings. When I finally saw A Star is Born, I was“We’re Far From the Shallow Now”

I was skeptical when I saw the trailer for A Star is Born; it seemed like just a big budget vanity project for Bradley Cooper who stars, co-writes, directs, and sings. When I finally saw A Star is Born, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Before the credits rolled, this film had me so thoroughly entertained and moved, I knew this was the kind of experience I hope to have (and so rarely get) when I go to the movies.

This is the fourth version of A Star is Born. The previous versions were made in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason, and 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. In 2018, Bradley Cooper plays Jackson Maine, an alt-country singer-songwriter who can still pack auditoriums but is deep into alcoholism and substance abuse. One night, at what Jackson is too drunk to realize is a drag bar, he meets a talented young waitress and singer named Ally played by Lady Gaga. He immediately recognizes her talent, invites her to his next concert, drags her out on stage to sing the song she sang for him the night before, and overnight, yes, a star is born.

The music in A Star is Born is good enough to justify the success of the fictional musicians. Jackson Maine’s songs are just the right blend of country and rock to have mass appeal. The break out hit from the soundtrack is “Shallow” sung by both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. It would be a complete and utter shock if it did not win the Oscar for Best Original Song. As a performer, Lady Gaga is famous for her over the top and outlandish theatrics that for me always distracted from her voice and music, which I quite enjoy. Here, her voice and skills as a songwriter are front and center. As an actress, she, unsurprisingly, has a great screen presence and proves that she is not just a musician trying to be a movie star. She is the emotional center of A Star is Born. We believe and never question her love and loyalty for Jackson despite his alcoholism. Lady Gaga's nomination for Best Actress is well earned. Bradley Cooper plays one of the most believable drunks I’ve seen on screen. When playing an alcoholic any actor or actress has the temptation to go for big showy scenes of sloppy behavior. Cooper, wisely, and more accurately, plays Jackson as someone that is a little drunk all the time. The people closest to Jackson as aren't worried about him flying off the handle as they are about keeping him on his feet. He remembers that alcohol is a depressant, so his outbursts are as sleepy as they are soul crushing and regrettably memorable. Sam Elliott turns in a great performance, of course, as Jackson’s older brother and is nominated for Best Supporting Actor. I found a particular delight in watching Andrew Dice Clay play Ally’s father because he is playing a character we so rarely see on film, a believable loving and supportive father. A Star is Born has picked up 8 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, but shockingly Cooper did not receive a Best Director nomination. Retelling A Star is Born was a passion project for Cooper; he held on to the project until he was the right age to play Jackson Maine. Finding a compelling and engaging way to tell a story that has been told three times before is no easy feat. I watched all 3 previous versions recently and it is amazing how A Star is Born 2018 hits so many of the same beats, and even has the some of the same dialogue as the previous versions but does not feel like a tired rehash. The approach Cooper the director and cinematographer Matthew Libatique take toward the material makes every scene look and feel fresh even as we move down a familiar path. A Star is Born is something almost nonexistent today: a movie for grown-ups from a major studio. This film does not condescend to its audience and allows its characters to behave to like real people dealing with serious problems. This is a sentimental picture but that sentiment is earned. Jackson and Ally’s romance is believable because of the hard valleys we see them experience as well as the peaks. A darkness looms over Jackson, but Ally does what she can for him, and for herself, because that’s what you do for someone you love. A Star is Born works as love story, a drama, a fantasy and cautionary tale of stardom, and a story about substance abuse all wrapped up in a soundtrack of great music. Even if you know where the story is going it is so well executed that every moment and every emotion is still gripping and affecting. There may be another A Star is Born made 20 years from now, but I think this one will remain as the stand out.… Expand

The film is set in modern-day America as it reflects on the current state of the music industry through a fictional story.
It follows the Hollywood trend of recent years where studios release high budget musicals like The Greatest Showman and La La Land. It also features a star-studded cast consisting of Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliot and Dave Chappelle.
The film reinvents this trend by casting Lady Gaga in the lead of the film. This allows the songs featured to be more impactful as the raw talent of her vocals demands the audience’s attention. Director Bradley Cooper must have studied the previous versions of the film as A Star is Born 1976 featured Barbara Streisand who is known for her singing ability. Casting Lady Gaga shows that he respects the source material and understands what made the original film so great. This is impressive as this is his directorial debut.
Bradley Cooper does a tremendous job in the role of director while acting in the film as well. His singing voice embodies the character of Jackson Maine in a way that many films that have come out in recent years haven’t quite managed to achieve. For example, in La La Land Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling played characters that were very similar to their real-life personalities, so it was hard to distinguish them from their characters. This portrayal is far more believable as it resembles the stories of many musical legends of the past such as Kurt Cobain, Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen.
The run time for the film clocks in at 2hr 16 minutes which does hinder the films pace as it slows down significantly towards the middle of the film. This is needed though as the climax of the film is more impactful because of this. It is also easy to follow as the story is told in a linear structure.
The film received an age rating of 15 in the United Kingdom, so it is targeting a mature audience and will be inappropriate for younger viewers. This is due to the film including swearing and disturbing images.

A Star is Born is an ideal film for a date night as the screening I attended was full of couples.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finding your voice...and losing it

A Star is Born(70/100)

(Possible spoilers(but not if you've seen any of the previous 3 versions)

Acting/Script Score(15/20) Cooper's finest moment is his final embrace with Gaga, just as March's goodbye to Gaynor was in the '37 version. But once you've seen an actor pull off that scene do we really need to see it again? And I was tragically unmoved at the end. It seems that 2 minutes of critique from Ally's manager is all it takes to push Jackson over the edge. The characters who inspire and captivate us are those who find sacrificial strength in love(Joy Newsome in "Room", Georges Laurent in "Amour", Frankie Dunn in "Million Dollar Baby.) Jackson seems content with his one attempt to conquer his demons.
Gaga's finest moment was definitely her first performance at Jackson's concert but that seems to be more a product of the cinematography than anything else.

Take Your Shot/Find Your Voice Score(40/40) The first concert scene with both Jackson and Ally is definitely the highlight of the film. Well paced(Ally waits just long enough before stepping to the mic), well photographed(Cooper's penchant for close-ups is best used here) and great musical chemistry between Jackson and Ally.

You've got something to say Score(0/20) This is where the movie totally lost me. Both her husband and her manager tell Ally that she now has a platform to say things the world needs to hear. She's found her voice so what will she say? Well, she says, "Why did you do that, do that. do that, do that, do that to me?" Yeah, I'm out.

Comparison Score(5/10) The vocal performances and lyrics were superior in the '76 version. Gaga's finale was superior to Streisand's failed attempt at rock though.

Kelly Score(10/10) I saw the film with my daughter Kelly and she felt that the story dealt with the question of Ally's failure to use her platform to say something important. And she found Jackson more sympathetic that I did. Perhaps this is because of the work she's done with the marginalized in St. Louis. I reconsidered my view and ultimately stuck with my original opinion but this helps me realize it's just my opinion and many may disagree(certainly most critics who've reviewed the film do.)

70/100

[ Rabid, Ranting Kansas Fan Font on] One reason the "Say Something" issue bothered me so much is that my favorite group, Kansas, faced the same pressure as they started in the music business. Their albums featured songs running up to 11 minutes in length that were about such topics as the colonization of America, visions of lost spouses, and themes from Herman Hesse novels. Their record company pressured them to write short love songs but they stuck to their guns. Their breakout hit "Carry on Wayward Son" was nearly 5 minutes long and still dealt with profound themes. Ally chickened out. [Rabid, Ranting Kansas Fan Font off]… Expand

It makes me angry that people enjoy this movie, and think that it has a touching story. The characters are selfish and shallow. And the fact that people think the ending is touching or sad is infuriating. Lady Gaga portrays a lovable character that remains insanely loyal to Bradley Cooper's. The puzzling thing is that throughout the film Bradley Cooper does nothing but bring her down. He does absolutely nothing redeemable the entire film. Sometimes films are about rehabilitating an old, washed-up soul. This movie wants to be that, but in the end Cooper decides to betray Gaga, the most supportive person in his life, and hold her back even more by heaping unnecessary grief onto her already stressful life. It isn't romantic or tragic, it is selfish. It solves none of the problems in either of their lives, and he only did it because he was a little bit sad. What a great message.

Despite the good performances in here by Gaga and Sam Elliot (Cooper is very one-note), and some good direction, the characters are atrocious. Don't believe the hype.… Expand

“A Star is Born”, co-written, directed, and starring Bradley Cooper (Guardians of the Galaxy, American Sniper), is Hollywood’s fourth telling of a classic tale of success and self-destruction; though this time, the story has been given a“A Star is Born”, co-written, directed, and starring Bradley Cooper (Guardians of the Galaxy, American Sniper), is Hollywood’s fourth telling of a classic tale of success and self-destruction; though this time, the story has been given a refreshingly gritty 21st-century makeover and is helped along by career-best performances by its all-star cast, stunning camerawork, and a powerfully tragic script sure to please audiences in the mood for some musical melodrama.
The film follows Jackson Maine (Cooper); an aging, alcoholic rock star who discovers Ally (Played by Lady Gaga), a bar waitress with an extraordinary amount of untapped musical talent; whom he quickly falls in love with. Maine then decides to help launch Ally into stardom, all while his own career falters and crumbles due to his crippling addiction to pills and alcohol.
While the film proves that Bradley Cooper is a fairly skilled director overall, the cinematographer, Matthew Libatique (Black Swan), is the unofficial second star of the film. The skillful camera work and lighting make every concert played by the stars an eye-popping spectacle bejeweled with blinding lights and swirling camera movements. Overall, while the whole cast gives excellent performances with not a weak one in sight, the beating heart of the film undoubtedly belongs to Lady Gaga and her up and coming starlet. Every moment she is on screen, Gaga shows her character’s natural quirkiness and insecurities with surprising skill, though her acting isn’t as Oscar-worthy as many would think. Someone who did give an Oscar-worthy performance is Sam Elliot as Jackson’s older brother, who gives the best performance in the movie with a single, car-related scene.
This brings us to the script which, while largely charmingly written and armed with an entourage of emotional gut-punches, does suffer from a pretty drastic pacing issue; with much of the third act dragging in a way that greatly softens the emotional impact of the film’s final moments. Additionally, it becomes distractingly apparent Bradley Cooper wanted to give himself as many Oscar-worthy moments as possible in the runtime; smothering the film with close-ups of himself and tearful monologues that are certain to grab the attention of The Academy.
Luckily, none of the film’s flaws are enough to undercut the overall efforts of the collective cast and crew and those in the mood for some soupy melodrama are sure to enjoy this retelling of a classic Hollywood fairytale.… Expand

I haven't seen any of the earlier films, so I started refreshing with the latest version.

The film has wonderful moments, but also its weaknesses. Towards the end everything drags on and is not quite as magical as it was at the beginning.

Actually it is really very high level, especially from Bradley Cooper, who (understandably) already puts Lady Gaga in her place, even if Lady Gaga's acting is really good.

From a vocal point of view, logically the reverse case. I also have to say that I never really followed Lady Gaga with interest, but you just have to bow to her voice, there is a lot of heart and love for music behind all the pop and all the extravagance.

The film didn't become a masterpiece, but Lady Gaga's song Shallow ... really nice. I can only recommend the Star Wars parody "A Star Wars Is Born".

Overall, a piece of film worth seeing.… Expand

Y las actuaciones son verdaderamente profesionales, en su debut como protagonista en el Cine Lady Gaga verdaderamente sorprendió a todo el mundo.… Expand

I expected this movie hit me differently during the whole watching, but I end up getting disappointed and frustrated, the plot is not interested at all, everything in this movie is just a nutshell of a mediocre Hollywood film. If I was forcedI expected this movie hit me differently during the whole watching, but I end up getting disappointed and frustrated, the plot is not interested at all, everything in this movie is just a nutshell of a mediocre Hollywood film. If I was forced to pick up some parts that really worth saying, I'd say the actor really do what they are paid to do, it's nice to see, gotta commit it really happened sometimes when the plot is actually sucked and the actor is not even there just hang his face around like he is really acting.… Expand

Amazing movie. Must see.
Lady Gaga was amazing. Bradley Cooper DID an amazing job as a director. Love the soundtrack, and the end was heartbroken.

Even as a fan I didn't expect this film to be so wonderful. I'm sorry Lady Gaga for doubting your greatness. You are without a doubt one of the greatest artists that life has given us.

An extremely overrated picture with underwhelming plot, emotionally calculated scenes, and characters that are beige. The "3" is for the soundtrack and Lady Gaga's outstanding singing. The rest is trash.

So beautiful in every sense. It really broke my heart and at the same time was one of the best feelings I have ever had. The soundtrack 10/10 and Lady Gaga's performance proved that she's a great actress.

Muy buena música y buenas interpretaciones. Lady Gaga increíble y Bradley Cooper genial también como Jack. Está muy bien porque se ve como van evolucionando los distintos personajes y como van cambiando las tornas. Una historia muy redonda.Muy buena música y buenas interpretaciones.
