Cooper was great...Gaga was okay

Rating: 6/10 (17 October 2018)

I really liked this movie. It had all the right components in order to be thought of as memorable and powerful, however...I think the only draw back (for me) was the performance by lady Gaga. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of her work and her music...but just that in this role she wasn't as compelling as I think her character should've been. Basically, she didn't convince me of her character's anxiety, desperation, fear, eagerness, and love throughout certain points of the movie. The only emotion she portrayed really well when the time came was confidence! (go figure lol). Anyways....Cooper did an amazing job with the character he played and everyone else wasn't so bad. The movie was pretty good overall -but nothing I would buy to own and watch again and again (not that we buy movies anymore now-a-days lol). Bottom line: go see it...it won't be a waste of money : )
