Review of A Star Is Born (2018) by Krm29 — 04 Oct 2018
A Star is Born plucks at your heart strings – and then snaps then. The movie, just running over two hours, feels the perfect length. Even though the story is somewhat dated [this film is the remake of a remake of a remake], it’s clear that the classic Hollywood storyline can still work when done right. Gaga and Cooper’s chemistry is unmatchable against any film released for a very long time. For me, the contrast in pace between the first and second half allows us to really focus on the second half - to the best portrayal of alcoholism I have ever seen depicted in a film.
The film really is brilliant. Gaga and Cooper are both glistening stars. An instant classic.
