The movie ended... and it cut to black.... and the theater was completely silent.... becuase it was soo good.... and from the distant back of the theater.... an unseen emotional Gay let out a whimper.... “yas Gaga.”
If I was a betting man, I'd put all my chips on this film sweeping this awards season. Really solid. Bradley Cooper knows what he's doing.
Performances are very strong and I love the improv scenes (at least what I think are improv scenes. - "no drink?, no socks?"
Matthew Libatique's cinematography is fantastic. Love the multiple stacked flares from the stage lights. Jaw-dropping.
Arri Alexa Mini, Cooke Anamorphic/i SF and Kowa Prominar Lenses
The Kowa Cine Prominar lenses are vintage Japanese cine primes from the 1960’s. Optically offering low contrast images with a cooler colour transition, and coming with unique warm flare characteristics.
Love Jay Cassidy's editing - very consistent pace. Always engaging.

I like this movie quite a bit, but why do people keep lying about it?
It’s clear that the problem with this movie is that Bradley Cooper—lead actor, director, co-writer, co-producer—has pushed himself so far into its center that he doesn’t seem to realize he’s not actually supposed to be its star. Buddy, you’re pretty much here to be a tragedy—not even a heroic fuckup, really, but a painful liability. And so many of the film’s other perceived flaws—anti-popness, especially—proceed from this misunderstanding. It isn’t that the movie hates pop; it’s that the movie takes for granted that Gaga/Ally need no further explanation, because pop needs no further explanation, because it doesn't have to prove or explain itself, because—as Jackson…
“is that me?”
“that’s you”
more than anything, this film signifies the start of awards season for me. the massive hype around it, outcries that claim it’s a masterpiece. a part of me wishes i had a similar emotional reaction to it, but i didn’t feel too much of anything for the duration. the first half does give off an exciting aura (the concert scenes are captivating), but while we follow the passage of time in the film, i lost even more interest, and mostly in the characters, who felt slightly hollow. i found it hard to grow attached to them, even though the performances were maybe the strongest aspect of the film
the final act, however, loses me entirely.…

Good movie besides the fact that Bradley often drank and did drugs when he had been explicitly told not to!
I swear I'm not trying to be cynical I really went into this thinking I would like it but this was borderline insufferable to me. A vapid take at fame, addiction, and stardom without saying anything. and I never got a sense of who the fuck Ally or Jackson even were. who was Ally besides someone that wanted to sing and be famous and who was Jackson besides an addict? let's keep Bradley Cooper away from writing and directing forever maybe. Yes, Gaga is good but she was given literally nothing to work with. Get that best song nomination girl! I'm so sorry I hated this gays but this was not it at all. why the fuck was this so long?
