Well Made Hollywood Movie With An Interesting Insight Into The Lives of Successful Musicians

Rating: 7/10 (1 May 2020)

I finally got around to seeing this movie and I am happy that I did. All the actors do an amazing job; I am especially impressed by Lady Gaga as she is first and foremost a singer. Bradley Cooper also make a stellar performance as always.
One of the things that I like the most about the movie is that I feel like it depicts the life as a successful musician in an honest way. It shows both the good parts (thrill of performing in front of people, wealth) as well as the bad parts (people bothering you and taking pictures of you, risk of substance abuse, managers pushing you to become someone you're not and not having your best interest in mind).
The thing I like the least about the movie is that it is such a typical American, Hollywood movie. That's just not my taste, and it made me pretty bored at times, even wishing that it would end. During the final scene I even looked at how much of the movie was left, which is not a good sign.
I got a bit bored by the singing all the time. The songs were good, for sure, I just don't find it that entertaining to watch a musician perform on a stage without anything else happening.
My favorite scene was when Jack brought Ally up on stage for the first time. It was really well done and powerful and actually brought tears to my eyes.
I will most likely never see this movie again, but I understand that people like it and I am happy to have seen it.
