Wow! I have to say, going in I was quite skeptic about this movie. That feeling did quickly change once the movie started. Lady Gaga's singing was Incredible (as expected) and her acting was captivating, in the other hand Bradley Cooper does a great job in portraying drug ravaged county singer, and his singing was unexpectedly good All parts of this movie fit together pretty well, and perfectly illustrate the complex relationship between the main characters. Exploring the downs of the relationships and lifting up the mood by showing some of the ups. This definitely a great first directing credit for Bradley Cooper and I have a feeling its not the last time we will be seing him in the director's chair. Last but not least, lets talk about that ending. All I can say is WOW, it got most of the audience sobbing. Overall, this movie is well put together and is one of the best modern movie musicals I have seen.
