Twitter Capsule:
The fourth version of the venerable romantic show-biz melodrama wisely draws more from the unloved Barbra Streisand version than the iconic Judy Garland film. Cooper and Gaga are fantastic together, backed up by great supporting cast and energetic musical numbers.
NOTE: All the versions of A Star Is Born are terrific, but this is the first one that isn't compromised in some significant way. Everyone involved in this picture feels like they're making the same movie. I personally would love to see a version of this get made every 25 years or so. It's a shame the Clint Eastwood version with Beyoncé didn't happen in the '90s.
