It was a great plot and showed so much emotional turmoil, especially Bradley Cooper. I loved how Lady Gaga starts her career and the closeness of the couple. But then Lady Gaga just seems to see her own glory and falls out of the character. Found her character confusing at times. Bradley Cooper stayed on track and did a superb job with his character. He was obviously living in a great deal of hurt. I was confused- was he an addict to escape the tinnitus? I heard that ringing sound here and there and knew immediately what his issue was. No escape-I live with it every day. It was a tear jerker and so emotional. Loved Sam Elliot- best supporting actor no doubt. This should definitely win some kind of award. Bradley Cooper is a great actor and director.
