Review of A Star Is Born (2018) by Jessica K — 13 Nov 2018

First off, the acting in this movie. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper had great chemistry in this film. Of course, everybody at this point knows that Cooper's a great actor, but not a lot of people know that Lady Gaga is a fantastic actress as well and it shows in this movie.

She deserves to be nominated for -hell, she should win- an academy award. She came across so genuine and like a real person that you can relate to. In every scene, she stole it. Bradley Cooper just turned himself into Jackson.

He took voice lessons to work on his singing and he learned to play guitar. Bradley Cooper also directed this movie. It's his first time and it doesn't show. His directing in this movie seemed so professional like Krasinski, and I hope he keeps directing.

Now, this film is a musical, and the music in this film is fantastic. I love all the songs in this film. The lyrics and tone were both meaningful to what was happening in the movie. When a scene was sad the song would be sad along with it.

The Cinematography in this film was also stunning. The lighting, like the music, helped set the tone of each scene. If it was going to be crazy the lighting was more intense but it was calm the lighting was calmer.

The last thing I want to talk about is the realistic relationship between the two main characters. It doesn't show a constant happy couple but shows how couples go through ups and downs but stick together no matter what.

In the end, "A Star is Born" is a great movie that you should check out.
