Promising

Rating: 6/10 (9 October 2018)

As far as directorial debut go, cannot fault the style or cinematography and was pleasantly surprised.
What lets this film down is Lady Gaga. I loved the first half of the film but from around the midway point I felt she was merely hired for her vocal to the point that I didn't care about her character as it was quite two dimensional.
Bradley Cooper, on the other hand, was amazing and I wished more time was spent on him and his relationship with his brother.
A few different choices for the 'second act' and it would have been a much better film. Instead I left quite disappointed considering the hype.
