  The movie ended... and it cut to black.... and the theater was completely silent.... and from the distant back of the theater.... an unseen emotional gay man let out a whimper.... “yas Gaga….”

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  “i thought maybe you’d find it when you came back to you, maybe”

  i’ve been trying to nail down why i can’t fully enjoy this, but tonight i figured out that there’s definitely more than one reason (some of which i’m still thinking through)

  a big one is how ally’s character is treated: she’s the only woman in the main cast, and she’s not fully fleshed out at all. we hardly know her first name until the crowd at jackson’s concert is screaming it, and she doesn’t have a last name until she takes his. we know that she has talent and a dream, and that she falls madly in love with him, but by the second half of the…

  If I was a betting man, I'd put all my chips on this film sweeping this awards season. Really solid. Bradley Cooper knows what he's doing.

  Performances are very strong and I love the improv scenes (at least what I think are improv scenes. - "no drink?, no socks?"

  Matthew Libatique's cinematography is fantastic. Love the multiple stacked flares from the stage lights. Jaw-dropping.

  Arri Alexa Mini, Cooke Anamorphic/i SF and Kowa Prominar Lenses
  The Kowa Cine Prominar lenses are vintage Japanese cine primes from the 1960’s. Optically offering low contrast images with a cooler colour transition, and coming with unique warm flare characteristics.

  Love Jay Cassidy's editing - very consistent pace. Always engaging.

  Watched at Cineplex Odeon Scotiabank Theater, Vancouver

  “is that me?” 
  “that’s you”

  more than anything, this film signifies the start of awards season for me. the massive hype around it, outcries that claim it’s a masterpiece. a part of me wishes i had a similar emotional reaction to it, but i didn’t feel too much of anything for the duration. the first half does give off an exciting aura (the concert scenes are captivating), but while we follow the passage of time in the film, i lost even more interest, and mostly in the characters, who felt slightly hollow. i found it hard to grow attached to them, even though the performances were maybe the strongest aspect of the film

  the final act, however, loses me entirely.…

  I swear I'm not trying to be cynical I really went into this thinking I would like it but this was borderline insufferable to me. A vapid take at fame, addiction, and stardom without saying anything. and I never got a sense of who the fuck Ally or Jackson even were. who was Ally besides someone that wanted to sing and be famous and who was Jackson besides an addict? let's keep Bradley Cooper away from writing and directing forever maybe. Yes, Gaga is good but she was given literally nothing to work with. Get that best song nomination girl! I'm so sorry I hated this gays but this was not it at all. why the fuck was this so long?
