Don't even know where to start.

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel as though I have too. Saw it Saturday morning, it's going into Tuesday morning now, and I keep thinking about it. Is it perfect no, it's slow in some areas and that's the only bad thing i can say about it. Bradley Cooper is utterly fantastic in his role as first time director and star. His portrayal of Jackson Mayne is so deep and well defined as he falls you can't help but ride the spiral with him. He plays him with love for the woman he adores and does not do the same for himself, truly heartbreaking. Lady Gaga does the same for her character and she is beautiful and graceful at the same time, not to mention her voice is brilliant and a true talent in today's music and it lends well to this movie. I swear she is not acting, she lives this everyday. She also displays something you don't see much of today. Love a deep love for her man and through all his faults her love is unwavering and she is committed to helping him overcome his demons. She goes down the spiral with him till the last and wishes she would have done so much more to help him. Regret is what is left, but spending the time you had with the one you love is not lost on her. I truly hope if you're on the fence you see it. You might be glad you did.
