That J 12,166 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 5 minutes ago, gag said: A Star is Born is going to go through a turbulent awards season. We’ve already had the anointed debut of glory — including an early leaked review calling it the best film ever — and soon the backlash will hit. It’s not the greatest movie ever made and it’s nowhere near the best film I’ve seen at TIFF so far but it is an exceedingly entertaining musical drama that will utterly delight mainstream audiences. Essentially, this is a review-proof film, maybe the only one at TIFF, so my thoughts are trivial when spouted under that looming shadow. But at least we can enjoy the view. From Pajiba IMO this is so important. Though it's expected for every award-y film to face backlash at some stage, the backlash for this is going to be so big. I'm lowkey dreading it already. Whether it's from exposure (La La Land), claims of it not being 'important' enough among other releases (The Shape of Water), or just critics overhype (Three Billboards), it's coming. All things good have a backlash. The true test will be the audience. I feel this film will have legs at the box office and stay for awhile. We shall see. Even The Bodyguard had it's fair share of negative reviews. It doesnt hold close to the score ASIB has now and it was a HUGE moneymaker. EDIT: The Bodyguard has a 35% ... Just one example of a musical type film that made a WORLD of money that critics DIDNT enjoy. They enjoy ASIB so yea. Just relax and wait.

The Bodyguard wasn't considered a good movie when it was released and I don't think it's considered a good movie as of now, despite being a box office smash.

If, as an actor, one of your movies doesn't sell well, it bears little-to-no resemblance as to how your future movies will sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was responding to someone who said "this is important" regarding a backlash thing. Lol. I dont give two monkeys if it's a hit or not. It's already a critical fave and I know we will love it. I still stand by my initial prediction of $100-$125 mil north American box office. Just for fun.

DrewPa 3,762 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I hope the public reception will be the same as the critical one, it's all that matters, especially for Gaga's career as a Pop Star and an actress. Luckily, Bradley is an actor almost impossible to hate, he's so cute, classy, well mannered, talented... You get the idea. That helps too.

I’m not a huge movie buff at all yet I always hear whether a movie did well at the office or not, more than whether it’s good. The box office matters. Who the hell cares?
