My first review...ever

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2019)

I wanted to see this movie for so long, but circumstances kept me away. Well, I finally saw this movie. It moved me beyond words. Bradley Cooper was so heartbreaking in his performance. The Grammy scene was awful - not in performance, but it was so hard to watch. When Ally's producer tells a sober Jackson how harmful he has been to her career and life, it was painful to watch.
I am a huge fan of Lady Gaga. Her performance was so moving. She played Ally with such passion. It was one of my favorite female performances of the year. Sam Elliott's performance broke my heart. When he was talking to Jackson about selling the farm, it was one of the most moving parts of the film. He was a standout. Andrew Dice Clay was amazing also. I couldn't stand his stand up years ago, but I didn't even recognize him. He was great. The music was incredible....Shallow is one of the best songs I have ever heard in a movie.
I knew the basic plot of this movie, and I knew about the suicide, but this still didn't keep me from loving this movie. The film was set up perfectly. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga had a connection that was so real. I read some of the reviews on here, and the people that rated it 1 were biased. Either they hated Cooper or hated Lady Gaga. If you watched the movie with an open mind and open heart, it will be everything you hope for. Thank you for reading my first ever review.
