It is a muddled, mediocre, hot mess. I find it hard to believe it was nominated for so many awards, and find it incredulous that it has won any awards!! I had read where this version was not like any of the previous versions -- but guess what folks - that's a lie. This is the same rehashed story as the other remakes. And this story it isn't all that interesting to anyone outside of the entertainment industry.

My biggest complaint is the editing - this could have been tightened up a lot and perhaps someone could have written some interesting scenes.

As far as acting -- Gaga did a credible job. Certainly better than Bradley Cooper.

The music is atonal, melancholy and without imagination. All the songs are like listening to someone whine in a monotone.
