Good performances but didn't grab me

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2019)

I took a while to see this film and whilst I enjoyed it, mostly I found it a bit flat in places. Bradley Cooper has modernised the story and he must continue in his directing because he has great talent. This movie is essentially a love story though and you have to believe that these characters are madly in love, but I didn't feel it. Bradley Cooper did well to bring to life a broken man fighting powerful demons and ugly jealously. He can't be faulted there. I also think Lady Gaga has a stunning voice and did very well in her acting debut. But for me tne chemistry wasn't evident between the characters.
