Great movie with a lot of heart!

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2018)

Very surprising movie. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. First of all Bradley's performance is stunning and gives us a cool but warm performance. However Lady Gaga is absolutely a great discovery. I've seen her in small cameo's or parts before but she really hits home in this movie. The chemistey between the two is believable and I wouldn't be surprised if they got the hots for each other in real life. However I think achilles heel of the movie is its director, Bradley himself. The movie suffers especially in the last half of the movie from choppy editing, in your face close ups of emotions, que tear que zoom in situations and sometimes the moments that Lady Gaga starts singing feel very unnatural. However for an early movie of his, it's fine! You can see that he has the talent but still needs some refinement.
