A Star Is Born is an emotionally captivating masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2018)

We went to watch the movie knowing this film had already been gaining rave reviews and that critics, among others, have already earmarked this as an Oscar front-runner. And what we got was that and more.
Lady Gaga's career defining role in acting was a challenging one but she took it on and delivered a flawless performance demonstrating her acting prowess and one worthy of a potential Oscar gold.
Cooper's directorial debut takes us through the story of an aging alcoholic and a drug addict trying to keep his life and his relationship together while also dealing with fame of his career and, towards the end, mainly his wife's.
Movies with performances such as these are hard to come by. Best film of 2018.
