A Star is Born (round 4)

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2019)

It's hard to top the Barbara Streisand "A Star is Born." Even though it was the third rendition of the film, it was by far the best. That said, this modernized adaptation is mostly successful. My only qualm is that I didn't feel a very strong connection between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga during the film. Perhaps it is due to Bradley Cooper being emotionally departed for most of the movie, but still. There was more love and adoration in the Barbara Streisand version. Regardless, Bradley Cooper has a successful first directed movie and Lady Gaga sings her heart out as usual. She is a star therefore contributing to the films title and making this movie.
