Good modern adaptation of this classic story. We know Gaga can sing, but it also turns out she can act too - and actually rather well. While the romance is lightly told, I was always convinced of the relationship between her and Cooper's character. They have great chemistry.Jackson's path of self destruction is as hard to watch as Ally's rise to fame is invigorating. And that's perhaps the one problem with this movie - it finishes on a down note.
The musical numbers are well staged and I liked some of the cynicism behind what it takes to make someone a star.
Verdict: A classic story worth revisiting.
