The film presented is the film you get. What it is is a years best. Cooper, Gaga and maybe even Elliott better get their best outfits ready for Oscar’s 91st. Read more

This film has talent everywhere, but it also has stirring things to say about love and sacrifice, about art and commerce, ambition and fame. Read more

Although slightly overlong, it’s a film whose emotional imprint will stay with you for a long time after the end credits have rolled.

It’s the performances and music that leave their mark. The film has things to say about the misery of addiction and it teases out high-art music against pop pulp. Read more

A painful reflection of fame, a study of addiction and a display of what it means to be true to yourself. One of the year’s best without a doubt. Read more

A remake well worth your time and one that could and should be celebrated across the board come awards season. Read more

Although I think the film is uneven and has character problems, I still highly recommend A Star is Born, which, all things considered, is an irresistible, audience-pleasing directorial debut for Bradley Cooper. Read more

A great film overall. One could even say that it’s close to exceptional. Yet, the storytelling aspect is almost there but falls just short. Read more

Fueled by strong performances and Cooper's precise direction, A Star is Born is a moving (and tear-jerking) love story by way of showbiz melodrama. Read more

Worth it alone for Bradley Cooper singing, his performance and partnership with one of the most vocally talented people to walk the earth is all bonus.

Even when A Star is Born is at its most sentimental or manipulative, Gaga remains believable, and her crooning is utterly heartfelt. Read more

As a director, Cooper offers a mixed bag. The film's concert sequences might be the most immersive since Scorsese's The Last Waltz, but off the stage, Cooper's film suffers heavily from his lack of experience in telling a story with pictures. Read more

The film didn’t touch me in the heart, presenting more inept than satisfactory moments, both drama and music-wise. Read more

A charmless vanity project from Bradley Cooper that does little more than showcase the already globally established musical talent of Lady Gaga. Read more

Both Ally and Jack are an incredible couple who we all should root for. But unfortunately, both were missing a heartbeat, and without that, no life exists. Read more

Naast het sterke en terecht geprezen acteerwerk van Bradley Cooper verdient ook Lady Gaga alle lof voor niet alleen haar zangtalenten, maar ook op de wijze hoe zij de ietwat timide Ally speelt.

Zit vol romantiek, drama, prachtige liedjes en ijzersterke acteerprestaties. Een achtbaan aan emoties die samenkomen in een krachtige ontknoping. Read more

A Star Is Born is het indrukwekkende regiedebuut van Bradley Cooper, die zich goed bewust is dat hij een remake maakt van een klassiek Hollywood-verhaal en de film de juiste glans en ontroering heeft gegeven die het verdient. Read more

Aardige film, maar geen hoogvlieger. Daarvoor is het verhaal te uitgekauwd, zelfs wat overtrokken hier en daar. Read more

Het begin was pakkend en neemt je mee. Het tussenstuk was echter te langdradig en misschien wel teveel van hetzelfde. Gelukkig pakt de film aan het einde van de film de draad weer op, met een kippenvelmoment als resultaat. Read more

Gaat en staat met het zangtalent van Lady Gaga & de acteerkunsten van Bradley Cooper. Maar op het vlak van regisseren heeft de man nog veel te leren. Read more
