One of the best films of 2018

Rating: 8/10 (7 November 2018)

Must admit to not having great expectations of a star is born. Pleasantly surprised to report that it is one of the best films of 2018.
The film tells the story of Jack (Bradley Cooper) and Ally (Lady Gaga) who are surprisingly thrown together. Jack is an aging rock and roll performer whilst Ally is a down trodden singer. The film is made by the performances of the two leads who are both outstanding. You feel very little empathy for characters in so many films nowadays. With Star is Born it as if you become the characters who go through a roller coaster of emotions during the movie. In addition to this many of the supporting characters are also very rounded and interesting. It also makes you realize why so many celebrities struggle with the demands of fame.
If you don't catch it at the cinema make sure you take a look when it hits the small screen.
