The True Essence of Artistry

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2018)

Bradley's first Directorial debut & Gaga's first major lead actress debut.. there couldn't have been a better pair for the impeccable chemistry these two hard working artists gave us.
They absolutely nailed it musically. Bradley taking voice lessons was a major plus, he worked hard and took the time to learn how to play instruments.. learning the stage management, and the overall process of being a musician..for them just working together, helping each other.. on acting and being a musician for each other honestly showed. Performing each song live on the spot to film, takes more than we think with most films who just lip sync each scene.. it felt so raw, and vulnerable watching them perform every single time.
Their acting was purely beautiful..once again, their chemistry played so well off of one another... I felt like I really knew them without knowing anything of the original story.. for them to strip down each other, and to know every single thing about one another really showed. On and off camera as Jack and Ally doing a scene, or Bradley and Stefani in a interview... they genuinely had this beautifully authentic, kind shared soul.. between the two of them...They really knew each other..and it completely showed in the film...you could see it in the eyes of each character.. It was a certain kind of love like I've never seen in the eyes of an actor before.
The cast and crew of this film really outdid themselves..it had beautiful shots, the crew nailed the live recordings, the location scouts for specific scenes like using Stage Coach, Coachella, SNL, etc.. really sold the feeling and the energy of the scenes.. the supporting cast gave lovable characters on screen as well really connecting it all together..the writers connecting the audience so well with the story was very crucial and was written perfectly.. to understand the hardships and ups and downs a human being can experience was so realistic and so relatable, it's honestly scary. It was all created by the outstanding job that Bradley pulled off as the director.. you could see that there was clear, direct vision for every single scene from start to finish.
Overall I'm completely blown away by the beauty of this retold story. Just knowing and being there throughout the time and the process of the entire project really makes me appreciate it more than I thought I ever could.
I'm completely proud of my Lady for coming this far into a 10 year career. Sticking by her side for this long has paid off in so many ways I could ever explain.. Everyone who knows me, knows I have a very large Heart for her... seeing her on the big screen surpassing my expectations really means the world to me. Coming this far so quick in her career is something many musicians aren't able to do.. job well done..and here's a standing ovation for you, because you completely deserve nothing but happiness for all you've conquered. Thank you so much for giving us the true essence of what it means to be a legendary artist of our lifetime. -Alex Wilson
