Bradley Cooper makes his directorial debut along with Lady Gaga’s premiere as a lead actress in this four-time remake of a classic love story. This just may be the best yet, and while the film does have its flaws, it’s a gorgeous love story filled with spectacular original music co-written by Cooper and Gaga. Sam Elliott creates a conflicted character as the resentful yet responsible much-older brother of Jack (Cooper) whose iconic voice and mannerisms are impeccably imitated by Cooper. The chemistry and energy between the lead actors is unmistakable, particularly in the beginning of the film, and you’ll definitely want the soundtrack on this one.
