My first review on a movie here since 7 years.

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2018)

I heard about this movie and was remembering the old version that I saw with Barbara and Kris back when I seen it on cable. It was a sad movie and saw the ending which grabs you in the feels, especially the song Evergreen. So with this remake, I knew it was going to be tragic but just didn't know how it was going to be told in this version. I heard the soundtrack and downloaded some of the songs from the album before I seen the movie. I was married to an alcoholic husband and I could identify with the characters in both of the movies.
I was surprised that Bradley Cooper was directing this movie and he did such an awesome job with the cast he put in this movie, especially Lady Gaga as his leading lady. It was a surprise to see Andrew Dice Clay as well and Dave Chapelle. But my favorite was Sam Elliot which I heard Bradley had to get.a voice coach just to mimic his voice to play his brother efficiently. Overall I was touched by this movie and I cried. Outstanding performances by all the cast in this movie as well as the story, soundtrack and direction. Go check it out! Watch it repeatedly. Its well worth it.
