I watched it only a few months ago. It was about as real as a movie can get. And so freaking sad. So sad.

Good film. I knew Lady Gaga was talented and gorgeous. What a voice! Bradley Cooper did just as well too in his directional debut.

of not getting to the movies, I managed to see THREE BILLBOARDS and A STAR IS BORN. Loved them both - excellent story-telling in both - great performances by the casts.
I also went to see Bohemian Rhapsody - didn't enjoy it as much - perhaps because I know how it ended. I thought some of the "scenes" were too "sappy" - incidents made to seem too dramatic. EXAMPLE: I find it hard to believe that the title song was created/decided in one brief meeting in a business manager's office.
