It had it's problems but...

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2018)

There were some issues with this movie. The love story struggled slightly but that's because Jack was always an alcoholic so it couldn't go from being 'magical' to 'tragic' because in most people's eyes, it already is tragic if he can't see the day through without a drink. For Lady Gaga's first big film, she did a really great job but I had no doubts as I think she is amazing in American Horror Story anyway. I really liked the idea of this film and I think it could have been a really great if there was more of a downward spiral from a happy marriage. It never seemed to be special and desirable because Jack was always drunk.
In terms of the acting itself and how believable the movie was, it was solid. I believed the actors were their characters and I was always routing for Ally.
