Actors: Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga,
Dave Chappelle, Andrew Dice Clay, Sam Elliott
Rating: 8 out of 10, This was much
better than I expected. I think this is the first time I’d ever seen Lady Gaga
without a mountain of strange makeup and/or dead animal flesh covering her.
She’s very, very good and there is no denying the voice which is incredible.
This was Bradley Cooper’s first directorial film and he also stars as the
inevitably tragic major star who discovers the plucky struggling artist and
falls in love. This was so much better than the Streisand effort in the 1970s
as Cooper is tone perfect and the scenes between him and Sam Elliott who plays
his much older brother just crackle. There is undeniable chemistry between Gaga
and Cooper as well which is integral to the story. Even though you know where
it’s headed after the prior three versions this was still wildly entertaining.
Gaga should wear less makeup as she has screen presence to spare and more than
held her own with the top notch actor she was on screen with.
MVP: Gaga dominates in a tough cast as Allie
