Thoroughly enjoyable.

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2018)

A modern take on a classic story which is still magnificent to experience today. Cooper and Gaga get to show off all of their singing, acting and directing talents to great effect, with great songs, strong acting and real screen presence. The story has plenty of romance, drama and excitement as well as being funny and emotional at times, but because of the snappy editing and lots of musical performances, it does feel like a "behind the scenes on tour" film at times.
