A Star is Born (2018)-Movie Review

Rating: 8/10 (14 October 2018)

This is the fourth version of the classic movie that tells the story about a big music star, and a woman that he helps to become a superstar.
This is the first time actor Bradley Cooper directs, and he is a surprisingly great director.The concert scenes especially, but he also has an eye for the small scenes.Bradley also stars as Jackson Maine and he gives a great performance as this broken rockstar. Lady Gaga who has here his first big movie role plays Ally, and she´s really talented too.The two actors have a credible chemistry who is important to the story, as an audience you believe.
In terms of story, the script although it may feel a little predictable, it is, still a great story, and very well told.It´s also worth mention the supporting cast which is all great especially Sam Elliot who plays Jackson older brother.
The soundtrack is fantastic, the songs are well written and performed, the main theme "Shallow" is an award nominee and winner for sure.
If i had to talk about some negative aspects, the movie is a bit too long, and there is one scene that comes from nowhere, that it could have been improved if it was better prepared.
Conclusion:A Star is Born has a profound story, great direction and performances, it´s a movie that is well worth seeing.
8.4/10
