The film is inexplicable predictable , not just the plot . Most scenes were painful to watch and not in a good way Sorry I just cant follow Jacks pain and alcoholism its not portrayed in a believable way and I know what I am talking about . Hes not a bad actor hes just not doing it right. The story moves ahead like a ton of bricks falling down the stairs all while its supposed to be earnest , emotional and down to earth But you cant feel the big time of their success and you cant feel the pain of the couple as their path goes separate ways . The best scenes are inthe start with Ally La vie en rose and gagas a decent actor in portraying her initial concern but once shes in love the movies over. Fine with a modern adaption but this was painful like bad danish socialrealism( Im a dane)and I struggled to watch it to the unnessary end.
