A dreamy downright exhilarating film

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2019)

A Star is Born is all kinds of special, it truly captures the love story that film revolves on, it just hits all the right spots, from the amazing music to the unbelievable acting to the great directing, it offers a lot of things at once and the best thing about it is that they all say one thing and that's there is incredible.
And now for what I think was the centerpiece of this film, Lady Gaga just wows, it is incredible to see her perform like this in her first serious role and her first ever lead, she delivered a heartwrenching performance that captured her own real-life persona, in other words, she played herself in a way, it felt natural and seamless and effortless and in my opinion she really outperformed Bradley Cooper, which brings me to his role which he excelled at playing as he incorporates his vision as a director into the character that he played, you can actually feel that he's in command of his performance as he knows exactly what to do to complement Gaga's performance, one thing that really made it what it is, is the chemistry between the two leads, their love story is charismatic and charming and I really enjoyed watching that unfold.
Cooper does a really good job of framing this film in the right way, you can see that he carefully picks his scenes and just let the leads draw the scene and I felt like that worked perfectly.
A Star is Born is a dreamy downright exhilarating film that leaves with a timeless good impression, it's just magical to watch.
