AndyRoo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I've just come home from seeing this movie, and I just have to say "Wow!" My partner wanted to see it, and generally I find musicals quite dull, but I agreed to go and see it and I thought it was absolutely brilliant! I have to say, having seen her in American Horror Story, I didn't think much of Lady Gaga's ability to act - but she was absolutely PHENOMENAL in this. And if there was ever a doubt that she could sing before, it was completely abolished having seen this. If you haven't seen it, I really recommend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natspringy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Ooh good to know, thank you. Wasn't sure but Bradley Cooper was kind if swaying me! 😜 will give it a try then! Cheers. Edited October 6, 2018 by Natspringy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I am going to see it this afternoon, having seen all previous versions, I will try not to make any comparisons. If it's no good, then I'll just leave and come home. Will report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise that, with the exception of Le Vie En Rose, the pair had written all the music between them and performed multiple tracks 'live' during filming (as opposed to pre-recording and lip-syncing). They were great! There was certainly no question as to whether or not Gaga could sing - she can absolutely belt out a tune. The best thing is that there was a lot of chemistry between the two of them too - so you really cared about both of them. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Gaga gets a lot of award nominations for her performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I was surprised by the quality of acting and singing - from both of them. Gaga, has never been a favourite of mine - I don't much care for her overt self-promotion, but she surprised with the quality of her acting and vocal range. A couple of slow bits mid-story, and it would have benefited from being about half an hour shorter, but sensitively shot and very emotional. I loved it... and that's from someone who will happily get up and walk out if a film isn't 'working'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only went because t'other half wanted to see it. Usually musicals, particularly those that centre specifically round a love story fill me with cold dread!
