Critics Consensus

With appealing leads, deft direction, and an affecting love story, A Star Is Born is a remake done right -- and a reminder that some stories can be just as effective in the retelling.

Chicago Reader

Pop singer Lady Gaga is quite good as the wife... she subtly and convincingly manages the character's transformation from vulnerable ingenue to self-confident celebrity.

Even in its fourth rendition, A Star is Born hits the right emotional highs.

A Star Is Born is a fantastic film (...) [b]ut it's contempt for pop music is disappointing.

Despite terrific performances by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, as well as sublime original music by its stars, A Star is Born simply didn't resonate with me like its contemporaries...

A Star is Born is not a perfect film. Very few are. But it walks the line of authenticity and truth beautifully, and I'd encourage anyone to go experience it for themselves.

well done, believable characters, but for me, it was just a little flat.

It was actually 'A Star Is Born' (1976) with Barbra Streisand & Krist Krisrofferson. This was the best version. Way better than the 2018 Lady Gaga. I LOVE Barbra Streusand. Music was wonderful. Acting wonderful.

I have seen every single production of A Star Is Born. This modern version is right up there with Judy Garland version. Lady Gaga is beyond incredible. She is stripped down to her natural self and her beautiful unbelievable talent, and Bradley Cooper has tapped in to who she is and what she’s capable of. And he has an actor and a director in this film, surpasses, the one that Streisand was in. I very much liked the character of Kris Kristofferson. But Streisand was a different breed than him and in Cooper’s version he the recognition of a talent that is equal to his own. This film should’ve won an Academy award for Best director. Actor and actress is fantastic.
