9/10
Music at its best
20 May 2019
A movie which features my personal favorite singer Lady Gaga as a protagonist is something I personally can't wait to see. As the film is aimed towards music and it has Bradley Cooper to join her, it seems like a recipe for success. And, for the first time in quite a while, it actually is! The movie tells a solid story, with a couple of twists which do it much good. It also has great, likeable and even memorable characters, thus is able to create plenty of drama and emotion along the way. The music it features is simply astonishing, generating goosebumps and tons of emotion with every chance it gets, making the overall experience a true pleasure. Even though it tends to be very dramatic in some ways, especially towards the end, it is something unique which only adds value to the movie's performance.

There's little to say about this movie's bad aspects as it tends to not have any. The only thing which I can say I didn't like about this movie, although "didn't like" is quite an exaggeration, is the fact that is has a very slow pace. I know that it has to be this way and you shouldn't think that it is close to induce boredom, far from it actually, but it felt that it over-prolonged some scenes where it wasn't necessary.

Overall, it's a wonderful execution of a great idea which features lovely characters and actors which manage to do a very good job in the movie's entire screen time. It deserves to be seen only for its move, let alone its plot.
