Slow at times. Some great original songs. For a movie about fame, it wasn't explored very deeply. I didn't see this is a true love story so much as story about a woman who was able to achieve dreams by entering a relationship with a man, and a man who was able to find comfort within a co-dependent relationship. Nothing wrong with exploring that relationship dynamic but I find it weird when people see it was a love story of soul mates. I wish Lady Gaga didn't have so much work done on her face because I find it distracting when an actor is feeling so much emotion and their face will not move. :-/
