voidfigure 1,612 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 So guys, like I told you some days ago, I went to Venice to write a review for the online magazine I write for... and I finally saw A Star Is Born. I obviously can't tell a lot about that but some of you are gonna love it to death. First of all, the whole night was magical. Gaga looked tiny yet stunning in that dress, and looked a little bit nervous too. Like she was feeling out of place, but it's understandable: the Venice Festival is a very chaotic place and the weather didn't help (the whole place had power issues). She kept on repeating the few italian words she knows to tell us she loved us, pretty much what she does at her concerts. So, the movie in my opinion has highs and lows: you know the story, and at times I felt like it was going at a very slow pace. But the music is incredible (although some of the Bradley songs are forgettable, but they may grow on me in time) and you will not be disappointed. Gaga's acting has really improved: that's for sure, she is really good in the role of Ally. Sometimes she makes the "blank face" expression of the Countess but nevermind. She portrays a deep role with authenticity and that will be praised when the movie comes out. Also, Bradley does an excellent job as a newbie director and the cinematography is stunning, with highly saturated shots that really stand out on the plot. I liked the songs and the score but there are a couple ballads that really got me emotional. So guys, just wait: it's worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 11,762 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Was it coherent? Because that was the only gripe I had from my prescreening was it felt a little all over the place and I'm wondering how much they fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plot is overall coherent, I don't know about the prescreening. Some parts felt a little bit dragged for too long but it's also a matter of personal taste.

The duets are stronger than the solos. Shallow is the most radio friendly to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
