    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Bradley Cooper said that Lady Gaga was the one who convinced him they should sing live. Gaga said she hated watching movies where the actors were not lip-syncing correctly to the songs, and to avoid this and get it right they needed to sing live for the film. This caused Cooper to get more extensive vocal training.
    • Goofs
      When Jack and Bobby are driving to Jack's house the car is obviously getting pulled along on a trailer as all the dashboard dials (including the speedometer) are on zero.
    • Quotes

      Jack: Hey!

      Ally: What?

      Jack: I just wanted to take another look at you.

    • Crazy credits
      The first couple of seconds of the Warner Bros Pictures logo are cut out.
    • Alternate versions
      An extended version of the film, dubbed the "Encore Edition" with an additional 12 minutes of new footage, was released on March 1, 2019 for a limited one-week engagement. The material consists of longer takes of musical numbers, as well as a brand-new, never-before-seen song "Clover", by Ally and Jackson.

    A good but depressing movie
    A struggling restaurant worker who moonlights at drag night clubs gets a big break when a country music singing star unexpectedly ends up in a night club where she is performing. As her rise to stardom , riches and fame ,ascends quicker than a rocket, her partner, who discovered her, sinks into and gets destroyed by alcoholism and drug addiction.

    Bradley Cooper's performance is somewhat annoying because his scruffy, ugly facial hair never changes (he is actually a handsome man dressed up to look like Kris Kristofferson in this movie...ewww ;/), and he often mumbles through his lines. But hey, that's the way substance abusers are.

    Lady Gaga's timing and expressions, singing are freaking amazing.

    The motto of this movie is: There is nothing cool about alcohol/ drug addiction. Apparently, many in real life refuse to get the memo.

    Before Lady Gaga appeared in any movies, I already knew she could act based on her appearance in one of her music videos with Beyonce a long time ago. What may be a pleasant surprise for some is the display of her musical singing versatility here. She is quite the skilled entertainer who has the whole package, similar to Madonna. Here she sings country ballads, country rock, pop and French cabaret showtunes with such conviction it might surprise some people.
