Inconsistent movie in characters, storyline and drama

Rating: 4/10 (12 February 2019)

Let me start by apologizing, because I know I'm going against a big lot of people in this my opinion, but I really don't understand such I reviews to this movie and I have to point out why.
Now, first, the characters: I can't understand neither of them, they seem contradictory in themselves, they are not very congruent, they are not at all real. Ally looks like an 20 something, almost 30, year old, who we see singing on stage of that bar in the beginning, acting quite maturely, but in the next 10 minutes we see her in her house, having fights with her dad, typical of 15 years old, she punches someone out of the blue and almost punches a second person, like a disturbed teenage girl. On the other side, Bradley Cooper can't help but give a bit of an introvert vibe to Jack, which really doesn't go with the character, an alcoholic and drug addict rock singer who signs girls' breasts.
Second place, and one of the worst things, their romance: what is that? They meet one day, have sex the next day, and the morning after they are having serious talks about each of them and behaving with an absurding care and intimacy, like they have known each other for two or three years! Then they get married after what, 3 or 4 months, when we at least have never seen them together with both of them sober and not hungover... And, of course, the first time they go together on stage and sing "shallow", and they have a perfect sintony: how???! She only sang half of it, he said he changed some stuff, they didn't practice, but somehow both of them know the whole final song perfectly, and are in perfect sync? That might look good in a musical, but not in a drama movie... To finish this topic of their "romance": after one day meeting him, she just watches him have an absurd fight with his brother, she just stands there like she was used to that? And also, when she says later that a guy wants her to go solo, he smashes a cake in her face and she says: "you jealous ****": where does that come from?
Well, next: the drama. It is very badly made... Partially dued to Lady Gaga, who is overdramatic. But there is at least a handful of cases where we just find out about something and it instantly becomes a matter of drama (she in her tub nervous about the album; the fight between Jack and his brother; their fight in the rehab center): there is no continuing storyline, we can't follow the movie properly, it's drama after drama, coming out of the blue.
The suicide now: he comes from rehab, starts getting his life together, is in an amazing phase of his marriage (they even wrote a song together), he is also better with his brother, and he suicides because of that talk with her manager? What was that? We saw earlier that he didn't care enough about her career to suicide because of it, so there is only that talk left, and it's absurd!!
Now his brother: he appears like 7 or 8 times on screen, and after the 3rd he does not appear nor is thought of for like an hour. Their relationship is very badly explored. Plus, let's be honest, that actor can't ever get rid of that fierce countryside look, and that is not a very good look for the character (not so much as the actor makes it look at least): his nomination for bet supporting actor is ridiculous...
Next to last: there is a scene in the rehab center where Ally and Jack are both crying their eyes out, but the camera focuses more on Jack, who is rubbing his eyes and hiccuping, but then he shows his face and he does not have a tear in his eye, they are not even red... That was an embarecement for both actor and director (both Bradley)
Lastly, the music: one of the few good things. But still, not that good: shallow is a nice little song, but it's a common pop song, and it really doesn't have the minor meaning in the storyline: it's just something she wrote. It might win best song but it would stand any kind of chance against the songs of last year like "this is me" or "remember me".
All in all, and inconsistent movie with bad characters, a bad storyline, a bad drama, not so good actors, not so good directing and reasonable music. A 3 out of 10, and I'm being nice. If you ignore the fact that the great Lady Gaga is in it, I'm sure you will agree.
