While it's a great movie and a powerful story, it shouldn't have been praised as "movie-of-the-year" or best picture, like it did. Cooper's directorial work is fantastic, but the acting performances from him and Gaga were hardly hair-raising. The film turned into a Gaga performance in the latter half - a fictional movie about a real-life superstar becoming a superstar with her voice? EhhFeb 25, 2019

This film is an instant classic from the first scene. Lady Gaga’s performance is well beyond expectations with stellar control of the screen and the emotional connections with other characters I could watch this film again and again Jan 22, 2019

I found the performances rather strong. The drag queen scene had fantastic acting from the queens. Bradley Cooper did well at portraying a man with substance abuse issues. Lastly, Lady Gaga was about to play a character who is also a singer, but less motivated and confident. However, if you are looking for something with a gripping plot then you are in the wrong place. The film does not manage to have enough depth to Bradley’s character. He struggles with substance abuse, but the whole time he stays the same. This makes each conflict dull because we know the outcome, but also obstalcles need to be overcome in a story to make it interesting. As said, the obstacles have a predictable lackluster resolution.
