Our suggestions
Seasoned musician Jackson Maine discovers—and falls in love with—struggling artist Ally. She has just about given up on her dream to make it big as a singer… until Jack coaxes her into the spotlight. But even as Ally’s career takes off, the personal side of their relationship is breaking down, as Jack fights an ongoing battle with his own internal demons.
"This is the fourth remake of the 1930s film, which has previously starred Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand in the lead role. This time, the protagonist is Ally, played by Lady Gaga, a waitress who dreams of a star life until one day she meets Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper), a famous singer. From then on, "A Star Is Born" builds, first, a story of overcoming, of pursuit of stardom, and of love. Secondly, the feature brings the tension of Ally's stardom into the relationship of both, involving us in a whirlwind of emotions. An exquisite job by Gaga, who had already acted in productions like "American Horror Story". Cooper is also great - especially when we look at that he is producing, directing, co-starring, and even singing (well). The soundtrack, as it could not be otherwise, is great and deserves special mention to the photography, signed by Matthew Libatique ("Black Swan")."
