Cooper's directorial debut is a flop.

Rating: 1/10 (11 November 2018)

Unlikable one-dimensional characters, slurring dialogue, scarce yet forced punching drama...and oh yeah, let's add (spoilers!) a dog, drag queens, and SNL into the mix too. Because, you know, it's the modern version. And here I thought we watched movies to escape reality, not look at it in disgust more.
The whole movie was just eating, booze, drugs, or singing fake songs, with constant cringy gurgly dialogue all throughout. It's like the culmination of a 12 year old cluelessly creating a movie in their head.
Maybe I just don't like Bradley Cooper? He spent half the movie inebriated (or was it pretend rather?), and the other half passed out. What a marvelous character.
One thing's for sure: Lady Gaga is way less ugly without makeup. But we always knew that.
