For his directorial debut, Bradley Cooper has done a very impressive job in making and starring in A Star is Born. Lady Gaga is a revelation and her acting is also worth noting. Both of them deliver heartfelt performances that really let you connect with their respective characters.
Being a musical, the soundtrack does not disappoint. Both Cooper and (of course) Lady Gaga have sang with pizzazz, creating superb songs and resulting in a hit Billboard album.

Though the movie is moving and the onscreen chemistry between Cooper and Lady Gaga is great, I feel as though the movie was not able to take full advantage of the emotional potential of the plot. This isn't really a drawback, just a minor thing that could've been improved upon.
In summary, A Star is Born is a beautiful movie and a definite watch for anyone looking to be taken on an emotional, heart-wrenching and musical ride.
Oscars Update: A Star is Born only ended up winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song (very much expected). I'm sorry, but for most of the others, in my opinion, it just wasn't on par with the other nominees.
