Almost perfect!

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2018)

Characters with splendid chemistry gets you emotionally involved already in the first minutes. The storytelling has great pace and it makes the seemingly fast love story feel very genuine, there aren't many scenes or moments that feels wasted or forced.
A lot small acts off affection is done by Coopers character, and even thought it isn't much, its very likable and helps with the development of the characters. With many moments like these, great music, fantastic characters and perfectly catching a very realistic feeling of our contemporary society I would say it is a film worth seeing. The only thing making keeping this from a 10 is the ending, which is a bit dragged out. I feel like the point of Jacks struggle has been shown and film could've done with a few less minutes in the end.
Lady gaga makes a phenomenal debut as an actress and nails her character. Cooper also does an amazing job with his broken, but still, charming character. With a lovely script and the emotional rollercoaster it gives you I am still thinking back to the movie long after seeing.
