An emotional speedball

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2019)

I applaud both Cooper and GaGa for totally immersing themselves into these two characters, making this film feel so, so authentic and real.
For two hours I felt like I had stepped inside the world of the music industry and gained a perspective that was so intimate and also insightful. Sure, many people feel this story has been told, but NOT like this.
It's beautiful in all its sadness even. Bradley Cooper may have just honed in his best performance portraying Jack. I'm thoroughly impressed how he completely disappeared. And just as impressive is the fact that a music icon seemed so humble in this role and even more believable!
But the real ingredient of this sensational film is the chemistry shared between the two leads. Incredible!! Not for one second did I doubt every emotion displayed or feel the happiness and sadness. I feel like this is a love letter to musicians off the stage and a bonus for viewers to get a sneak peek of people just you and I that just happen to be in the spotlight.
And of course, the soundtrack. Jesus christ, is it incredible! You will get the chills throughout this entire film I promise.
One of the most moving movies I've had the pleasures of seeing recently. I find myself deeply intoxicated by the world I was just living in and wish I never left when the credits rolled.
Bravo to everyone involved, even Andrew Dice Clay.
9/10
Dont miss this amazing movie!!!
