A Star Is Born Movie Review

A Star Is Born was a good movie, and I was surprised to find out that Bradley Cooper was the director for this film.

A Star Is Born follows Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) as he is a professional musician. One night he stumbles into a bar and hears a girl singing. This girl is named Ally (Lady GaGa) and the two of them hit it off great! They are perfect for each other and their romance blooms along with Ally's rise to stardom.

This movie has already gained favorable reviews, and I can see why. Lady GaGa is a fantastic actress, and Bradley Cooper delivers yet again another strong performance. I was surprised to see Sam Elliott in this movie. I didn't watch to many of the trailers, but from what I gathered, I didn't expect to see him in this film. I would also like to note, that all of the supporting cast did a fine job as well.

I was very surprised to find out that this movie was directed by Bradley Cooper. I'm not exactly sure how many movies he has directed besides this one, but I'm very happy with his skills as a director. I would love to see him develop his skills more.

Now onto the music for A Star is Born , I'm very happy with this soundtrack. The music is almost a character in and of itself. I can understand if you would want to purchase the soundtrack for this film, as it really is great.
A Star Is Born is a great movie, but it does drag a little bit in the middle of the film. I felt like they could have cut maybe 10 minutes or so from the final cut, but that's my only major gripe about this film.
Would I recommend seeing it? Yes, I think I would, but just remember that this is sort of a musical film. Yet this is not a musical itself. If you're into these kinds of films then I would tell you to go out and see, A Star Is Born.



final score: 4/5
