I liked the singing, but the acting and chemistry was pretty bad. The film is a bit on the longer side, and it starts to drag in the middle.
A good movie with 2 talented vocalists. Unfortunately I had to mute the songs but the movie was good
Way longer than it should have been. The story begins to fall at the middle. The vocals by Barbra are great, but the acting not so much. I prefer the one with Judy Garland, and even the one with Lady Gaga.
This was the A STAR IS BORN I knew, released in 1976. It was the third of four (1937, 1954, 1976 and, now, 2018). I'm pretty sure I had the soundtrack on repeat, the songs still stir memories of my college years. Streisand vocals are spectacular. Kris Kristofferson was beautiful. This version made a complete contextual leap from Movie Star to Rock Star. It garnered 4 Oscar nominations, all for music and sound, and won for Best Song. Now, rewatching it, I see it had some rough spots, in terms of acting and writing, but I'll still go with a rating that harkens back to my first experience of it, making it a 7.5 (sweet good) out of 10.

What a muddled, beautiful mess. And the music, blah. Should’ve left it at the Judy Garland version; now that, is a terrific movie!
