Unconvincing performance

Rating: 6/10 (10 January 2019)

I loved, loved, loved the music but Lady Gaga's performance was unconvincing to me. She was emotional, yes, but the moment she goes onstage I just cannot believe she is a novice singer unused to large crowds. Gaga takes the stage and boom, it becomes a Gaga concert, which I thoroughly enjoy but does not serve the story. The love story was drawn out, as was the conflicts after married life, and I fell asleep before the finale. Also, I was deeply distracted by the fact that Cooper cannot really play the guitar and it was very obvious that camera angles try to hide this fact. I wish he could have chosen to play any other kind of singer than a guitar-playing country singer, else, get someone else to play it.
