A magnificent movie, captivating performances by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. The ultimate shock was how brilliant Lady Gaga was, we knew she could sing, but didn't have any idea just how far her acting talent stretches!
After watching that I can tell you it stretches far enough to earn her some Oscar gold.
The movie is outstanding, the music is annoyingly perfect, the cast is great and everything shouts Oscar worthy movie.
Ten out of ten!
