A Star is Born (2018)
Starring Bradley Cooper as a Springsteen esq popular singer songwriter and full blown alcoholic who meets and falls for Ally (Lady Gaga) a struggling singer and coaxes her to follow her dreams, while he battles his personal demons.
As far as directorial debuts go, Bradley Cooper's A Star is Born is a strong one that pulls you in immediately. Both Cooper the actor and Gaga are both excellent and have great screen chemistry, as is Sam Elliott as Cooper's touring brother and throughout the first half i loved the film and its music. However when Cooper's substance abuse began to properly take over it went downhill incredibly fast.
Not that it made the film worse, it didn't, it was powerful stuff, but i can do without f*cking misery like that at this time of year.
