Very good remake that shows familiarity doesn't have to be mundane.

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2019)

A Star is Born is a long-gestating remake of the 1937 original, and congrats on Bradley Cooper's job in directing this movie! He did a rather great job giving the film the feel of a modern rock concert whenever he and Lady Gaga are on-screen singing their hearts out to the audience. It's really a showcase to show that Lady Gaga CAN be a leading *ahem* lady given the right material and taught direction.
This film's story of rags to riches is familiar yet still inspiring for this day and age, and I'm happy that this film wasn't driven by cynical motives in order to be made. It's a love story told through two love-birds making a big splash in the music industry.
A Star is Born gets 4.5/5 stars.
