I actually fell asleep during the movie which was incredibly disappointing to me. I couldn't get past the fact that I still saw Bradley Cooper even though he embodied Leonard almost to a T. Carey Mulligan completely blew me away with her performance and the tears wouldn't stop flowing because I had a similar life experience and I could relate completely...she should definitely win an Oscar for this. Honestly, I loved the chemistry between Bradley and Lady Gaga in a Star is Born better imo.
