Fairly enjoyable but quite the formulaic romance

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2019)

A Star is born came out with much fanfare and was praised for being this amazing romance film that featured great performance by both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. Personally, I enjoyed the film but found it slightly formulaic and I felt that it dragged towards the end of the movie, The music and songs were of course flawless and very impactful in the telling of the story. But all in all quite a standard story, that is definitely well executed but lacking in deeper substance.
I do struggle with determining whether that great execution and the coherent storytelling can in fact allow me to look past its lack of a deeper meaning and originality; but, unfortunately I don't really think so in this case. But that is simply up to personal preferences. This movie is definitely a delight and should be considered 'fairly good', one of those that would give you a good cry but beyond that not much to marinate on or thika about.
