The film sins in many tones and senses. Bradley Cooper seems lost, sheepish. Lady Gaga, I know very little about her musical work, but as an actress she needs to improve a lot. The narrative stretches too far, often demonstrating the obvious, often unnecessary. In summary: slow script; weak and unconvincing performance; Reasonable music; It's a movie with meaning but no direction - literally. It's to wish they keep trying till they get it right because it was not this time.
