Overview

While visiting a local drag bar in search of a stiff drink, famous country singer Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) happens upon an electrifying live performance by struggling waitress Ally (Lady Gaga). After a whirlwind week of acapella romance, Maine becomes determined to bring the undiscovered artist into the world’s spotlight. While Ally’s career takes off and tumbles down the heady route of bubblegum pop, Jackson falls deeper into the throes of drug and alcohol addiction, soon alienating Ally, his loyal fans and his stoic older brother Bobby (Sam Elliott).

★★★★★ "An electrifying Hollywood musical for the ages."

Why You Should See This Film

A story so good they filmed it four times. As tragic and heartbreaking as it is wistfully romantic, the classic tale of A Star Is Born is an unassailable cultural touchstone. This most recent version is no different, with a revelatory performance from Lady Gaga, sensitive direction from Bradley Cooper and a shockingly catchy soundtrack to boot (we’re looking at you, Why Did You Do That?). Keep your eyes peeled for some scene-stealing cameos from Rupaul’s Drag Race alumni Shangela and William.
