boobtank 9,090 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Bradley Cooper shows he can sing as well as act and direct but it is Lady Gaga’s pop prowess that lifts each track, be it spectacular piano ballads or heart-rending duets. 4/5 Afilm like A Star Is Born has one of the most ambitious tasks in Hollywood: to convince the audience that its fictional musical megastars really could be megastars in our world. It’s not enough to have the charisma-wattage of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga – you need the songs as well. An example: the otherwise enjoyable TV series Empire was kept firmly in soap territory by the ersatz swag of its middling, specially penned rap tracks. Or the Hugh Grant-Drew Barrymore romcom Music and Lyrics, whose tunes, while strongly written, were pastiches put to work as cute plot devices rather than songs in their own right. A Star Is Born needs to be more than that. As a serious drama about addiction, and the supernatural, transformative, sometimes erotic power of music, it needs songs that are earnest and instantly classic. Against the odds, it succeeds.
