Viewing Notes

Lady Gaga is phenomenal here. Like I’m sad she did those crummy genre films prior to this bc she shines here. Bradley Cooper is great too doing his best Sam Elliot who also happens to be in the film as his brother. Sadly this is more a story about Cooper’s Jackson Maine rather than Gaga’s Ally. I wish it was about Ally even tho I get why it’s about Jackson and his life and his control over Ally.

First hour is so goddamn great and I wanted to leave after that bc everything afterwards only gave me anxiety. The final performance in the film just made me ugly cry. A bit embarrassing in the theater.

Academy Award for Best Original Song
