A powerful retelling of a classic story

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2019)

Cinema can serve so many purposes. It can make the audience laugh or cry. It can bring people together with their family and friends. It can shed light on pertinent issues our society has faced or is currently facing. The central theme to all of these things is cinema's ability to make us feel. A Star is Born owned this, making me feel empty, fiery, uncomfortable, and even hopeful, all in its 2 hour run time. It tells a gripping story that is relatable to every person in one way or another. I highly recommend this classic story, as retold by Bradley Cooper.
