Despite terrific performances by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, as well as sublime original music by its stars, A Star is Born simply didn't resonate with me like its contemporaries...

A Star is Born is not a perfect film. Very few are. But it walks the line of authenticity and truth beautifully, and I'd encourage anyone to go experience it for themselves.

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; 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.

A Star Is Born's fourth remake continues the successful tendency of reincarnating the original's essence.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 24, 2023

There are moments where the pace can stop dead in its tracks. Other than that, this film is amazing and filled with an emotional story, fantastic performances, and wonderful music.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Jan 22, 2023

“Gaga’s mere presence in ‘A Star Is Born’ allows Cooper a wide berth to go big with scenes and moments that play with and embrace camp.”

| Jan 9, 2023

Gaga’s performances always sizzle. Her bond with the audience is palpable and her joy in entertaining is apparent in every note.

While the story of “A Star is Born” may be familiar, there are enough good choices from Bradley Cooper to make his version of this ‘oft told tale’ feel fresh.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2022

A Star Is Born is an example of top-flight romantic escapism

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2022

It's not easy to capture performances this raw, nor to write and perform songs as good as "The Shallow," as mournful as "Maybe It's Time," or as badass as "Black Eyes." Cooper does it all to an impressive degree.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 11, 2022

For moments there, you're reminded what the power of this medium can be; the beautiful meshing of what we see and what we hear into a cataclysm of what we feel.

I am incredibly impressed with [Bradley Cooper's] directing skills.

A thoughtful remake with odes to each rendition that preceded it...

| Original Score: 82/100 | Sep 1, 2021

Filled with great performances and great music that will be talked about a lot come award season.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 17, 2021

The apex of their collaboration occurs in the breathtaking first performance of "Shallow," during which Cooper wisely decides to stay on the edges of the frame, giving the literal and metaphorical spotlight to Gaga...

| Apr 16, 2021

Could have been product, a glitzy film with a heartthrob and a pop star in the leads but instead resonates with real feelings and heartfelt emotion.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 1, 2021

This A Star Is Born, unlike the more successful of its predecessors, never becomes a commentary on the destructive nature of stardom and success and the cruel, unforgiving character of the film or entertainment business.
