Review of A Star Is Born (2018) by April%20 H — 10 Nov 2018

Sweet and believable. I'm generally hard on people with addictions, but her compassion for her costars character touched me. I watched her decide to stay when the full scope of his addiction became evident.

I've had that moment in my life, and that's when I've left. I could see that she felt she'd have to sacrifice that deal breaker for a less than perfect person. But she didn't do it with despair.

She didn't become his victim; he helped her too. She was such a beautiful character that I cried for her not him. That moment in the end when she looks right at us, and she takes her pain and shares that with the world left me so unnerved.

That moment you think 'so this is when she becomes a star. Is it worth it?' Sometimes it's hard to see how much super famous people share publicly. I mean the genuinely good ones. I ended up seeing it again two weeks later just because I wanted to spend more time with those people.

I also wanted to understand how when she came to the crossroads she made such compassionate and courageous choices every time. It inspired me so much.
