Superb acting by Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2019)

I was actually apprehensive about watching this movie b/c of all they hype. I needed to be in the right mood to see the two well known stars in roles where the whole time we're watching the movie we know we are watching Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper. To me being able to look at a famous person and still be moved by their acting is a testament to their acting abilities. I am a big fan of both the stars so I didn't want to be disappointed and I was not. Lady Gaga was believable from the start ...she was a natural at acting. The emotions she had to portray were so genuine it drew me into her character enough to feel her heartbreak and to feel sad for her. Bradley Cooper was brilliant as the country singer with drug and alcohol addiction problems. He shines in this role as he has in every role i've seen him in. I loved the puppy ...he even made me cry.
I felt the film did drag on a bit so that's why I only gave it 8 stars. Cooper and Gaga get 10 stars for their performances. Well worth watching and of course the soundtrack is amazing.
