A Star Is Born

Pop singer Lady Gaga is quite good as the wife... she subtly and convincingly manages the character's transformation from vulnerable ingenue to self-confident celebrity.

Even in its fourth rendition, A Star is Born hits the right emotional highs.

A Star Is Born is a fantastic film (...) [b]ut it's contempt for pop music is disappointing.

In the end, A Star is Born becomes a touching film hampered by its own legacy.

In its new incarnation, A Star Is Born presents a beautifully told and hugely affecting love story.

A Star is Born foregrounds all of the ways Jackson and Ally are enamored with each other, the intimacy that enhanced their bond and the affection that inspired their songs.

You can hear the ghost of Kim Novak whispering: "Here I was born and here he died, twas only a Diane Warren Ballad to you&#59; you took no notice."

In his confident directorial debut, Cooper is equally revelatory. Doing his own gruff singing and playing, he’s entirely credible...

a film about love, pain, loss and courage, which shows us that music can hurt and heal.

A Star Is Born has been remade three times prior to Bradley Cooper's latest version, and yet no one has thought to change the tragic ending.
