People either love, Love, LOVE this movie or they down right hate it.

Rating: 8/10 (13 April 2019)

It appears people either love, Love, LOVE this movie or they down right hate it. Well, I love, Love, LOVE parts of this version of A Star Is Born, but I didn't love all of it. And to be clear, the parts I didn't love, I also didn't hate them either.
I thought the acting was great, there was wonderful chemistry between the leads and all the supporting actors. The emotion portrayed by all throughout the highs and lows, to me anyway, never felt forced or disingenuous, which is also why I love ×3 many parts of this film.
I gave ASIB (2018) 8 out of 10 stars, because in the latter half of the film, in some of the darker and more serious of dramatic scenes, they felt a bit long, which caused their gravity and impact to feel somewhat diluted.
All and all ASIB was an engaging movie, one with viseral characters trying to navigating life, love, and the side effects of fickle fame, good and bad--I smiled with the characters, and I too was moved to tears when their hearts where broken, and any movie that can achieve this is worthy of my esteem.
