With appealing leads, deft direction, and an affecting love story, A Star Is Born is a remake done right -- and a reminder that some stories can be just as effective in the retelling.

Pop singer Lady Gaga is quite good as the wife... she subtly and convincingly manages the character's transformation from vulnerable ingenue to self-confident celebrity.

Even in its fourth rendition, A Star is Born hits the right emotional highs.

A Star Is Born is a fantastic film (...) [b]ut it's contempt for pop music is disappointing.

Despite terrific performances by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, as well as sublime original music by its stars, A Star is Born simply didn't resonate with me like its contemporaries...

A Star is Born is not a perfect film. Very few are. But it walks the line of authenticity and truth beautifully, and I'd encourage anyone to go experience it for themselves.

well done, believable characters, but for me, it was just a little flat.

It was actually 'A Star Is Born' (1976) with Barbra Streisand & Krist Krisrofferson. This was the best version. Way better than the 2018 Lady Gaga. I LOVE Barbra Streusand. Music was wonderful. Acting wonderful.

A Star Is Born is one of those films that stays with you long after the credits roll. It’s heartbreaking, raw, and beautifully done. As a musician, I felt such a deep connection to the story—it captures the reality of the music and entertainment world in a way that feels honest and unfiltered. The film doesn’t shy away from the darker sides of that life—addiction, mental health struggles, and the devastating impact of suicide. It’s heavy, but it’s real. And in that pain, there’s also truth about artistry—how so many musicians channel their deepest struggles into creating something powerful and meaningful. I cried more than once watching this. It hit close to home in ways I didn’t expect. Thank you for creating a film that is not only beautifully made, but also so emotionally authentic.

It started of ok, but I just really didn’t care at all for the characters or the story. I lost interest and didn’t finish it.
