Captivating and Intense

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2018)

It has been a long time since I've experienced a movie that literally had the entire theatre laugh,cry and applaud together as one. At one point it was entirely silent followed by an explosive sobs. What's fascinating is Bradley Cooper spent a year and a half learning to play guitar and sing. He did this all will it being his director debut. As for Lady Gaga it was just as exceptional being her first movie debut. It was if she was a well seasoned actress. Not to mention her powerhouse vocals once again proven to be outstanding.
I feel like it was perfectly portrayed the lives of those touched by alcoholism, codependency and suicide. Our Country needs to see how these diseases affect an individual, family and loved ones. It also shows that we must be open to listening to and being sympathetic to everyone because our thoughtful words could save a persons life or if not careful contribute to its demise.
This is by far one of my favorite movies ever. Must see!!!
