Amazing, i wasn’t overly keen on Bradley’s songs (even though he sounds great on them)

There’s 3 really pop songs too that the gays will love (Hair, Body, Face/Why did you do that/Heal Me) my faves are I’ll Never Love Again (this song is gonna be her My Heart Will Go On/I will always love you) Is that alright? (Which isn’t even in the bloody film, only plays over the credits ) and Always remember us this way

I'm listening to the OST now and while it's bogged down with unnecessary dialogues, I quite liked some of the songs.

"Always Remember Us This Way", "Look What I Found", "Music To My Ears", "I Don't Know What Love Is", "I'll Never Love Again"

UK fans keep saying the soundtrack is sold out, but fail to mention it's only sold out on Amazon USA...it hasn't sold out on Amazon UK. (Yet)

Just come back from seeing it. It is very worthy of the hype. Lady Gaga's incredible, Bradley Cooper does a very good job although his choice in how he speaks inhibits his performance I think, he's always grumbling and it's quite difficult to make out what he's saying half the time. Still it's a strong performance and I expect they'll both be nominated for an Oscar in a few months time although it'll only be Gaga that walks away with one I think.

I heard that the film was quite emotional and, for me, it really didn't become emotional until the last few minutes but when it got me, it got me.

Spoilers for the end.
Spoiler:

The film felt overly long in places but it made the weird decision to not cover Ally's reaction to Jack's suicide or the immediate aftermath and I think that robbed the film of a lot of it's emotional punch... Until the last song that is, I could legitimately hear people sobbing in the cinema.


It's a 10/10 tbh. My only criticism is that it's a bit long in the wrong places but still, it's not a huge drawback.

I agree with this. It's one of the few films I would go and watch again in the cinema.

Defintely agree with this, I found it quite hard to understand Jackson’s brother at times too, and he wasn’t even playing drunk

From what I’ve heard the latter part of the film happens quickly in the other films too in relation to *that* so I think it was a conscious choice.

The atmosphere in the cinema was amazing, I’ve never been in a showing before where you could here a pin drop at the credits and I guess it’s just a testament to how enthralled everyone was in the final performance
