We were both very pleased and are still engaging in conversations about the movie. Not one dry eye in the place, it had a great tempo and didnt drag on or have any lulls in the story. The crowd was a lot older than we were(we are almost 50) it was the biggest screen they had at our theater and seats a lot but it was maybe half full on Sunday afternoon. Lady Gaga obviously has an incredible voice and Cooper held his own surprisingly. I loved the first song of the film but the rest of the music was surprisingly bland and didnt captivate me at all. In all, the character conflicts are addressed but the film never fully dives into them in the way it certainly could have. The film then goes through a few cliches as we see Gagas character ascend to fame but again, we also dont see enough struggle from her character either. He is an alcoholic and we certainly see him drunk many times but I didnt see enough struggle to justify his character arc not was Coopers performance powerful enough to convey the devastating agony of addiction. The first act is really great and the chemistry between Gaga and Cooper is phenomenal but after that it sort of devolves into a melodrama. That being said, the film seems to be getting WAY overblown by people.
