Two breathtaking performances to see and feel

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2018)

On the one hand, we have a brilliant actor who all of his life seems to have dreamed to direct and sing and who demonstrates that some people just do well whatever they're doing. And on the other, there's a great singer who seems to have forever wished to act. Or is it to be herself? Because there is so much authenticity in Gaga's character that I couldn't help but wonder if it's not the first time we're seeing the real her, unfolding, depleted of any mask. Also, there is so much happening in their eyes it seems that they're made for each other, displaying one of the most ravishing, if not the best chemistry in film history. Go see it and feel it, then play 'Shallow' at the top of the volume while thinking at the last time you felt alive.
