Emotional but not quite there

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2019)

Totally engaging movie with great performances from Cooper and Gaga but sadly let down by the award ceremony. Just doesn't make sense that Cooper would behave that way on stage...made no sense for the fact he wouldn't actually get to the stage and two what spouse would turn a blind eye to a loved one behaving like that? Also what individual would insert themselves into a relationship knowing one member is unwell and purposely seek to cause distress like the manager did. Guess I don't do Hollywood because this just seems - well a shortcut to crop the story. That and Gaga clearly pulled into an entertainment path that clearly wasn't her passion. Could have just been better but saying that the talent of both Cooper and Gaga holds the attention and uses the tissues.
