Thank god gaga acted as Ally. The chemistry between gaga & Bradley is insane

[MiniLemmy]

The thing is, Bradley Cooper only reflected what most people have been saying - that Lady GaGa is a hundred times better looking without makeup!

[ClassicRock-gxhd]

Lets be honest here. Beyonce is beautiful and she can sing. But you know what would be missing from this film? The most important thing. Chemistry. Gaga and Cooper have insane natural chemistry, where you wonder how much of it is really just acting. This is a very powerful thing. And rare.

[RAchbaby]

You forgot to put in that Lady Gaga singing “I’ll never love again “ just that day her very good friend died of cancer and Gaga missed saying goodbye to her by just seconds of her passing so Gaga went back to set performed live to I’ll never love again which is why it felt so emotionally rare and real

[TheCheetahwings]

It is utterly ridiculous that people got mad at Bradley Cooper for the makeup thing. Are people really that stupid? He's the director, creating HIS film. He gets to choose how much makeup she has in a scene.

My movie of the year, the movie and the actors are amazing

[lalyrabe]

I’ve just left the movie theater and I’m really upset. That movie was as beautiful as heartbreaking. I’m a mess rn

[remygarrison]

I've never been a Gaga fan---till now. What a beautiful person she is, inside and out, and makeup is the last thing she needs. Stunning.

[supermanmarine]

Make up controversy?? There is no controversy... Gaga talked about it and why this happened... She looks gorgeous without makeup!!

[yewandekoyenikan]

It was an amazing movie. Brilliant acting. Bradley and Gaga deserve Oscars

[Triairius]

Their chemistry is unlike anything I've ever seen.

[peterfunk]

I hope they make another movie together!!! This one was great!

[hannahbennett]

This in my opinion was one of the best movies I have seen this year. Thank you ms. Mojo

[dhrubaintisher]

This was one of the best movies in history. GAGA and Cooper just left all of us speechless. Gaga was the ultimate perfect choice for Ally.

[lanamanchester]

Lady Gaga is ACTUALLY much more attractive in this movie, she looks better in this than she did in AHS - she doesn't need all that heavy makeup like she wears & all those crazy outrageous outfits. I love her style in the movie actually. Just saying...

[philyra]

Great video, but a minor note: The name of the song made famous by Judy Garland is "Over the Rainbow" and Gaga didn't just hum it, she sang the full opening lines that most people are unfamiliar with. This happens at the beginning of the film when she's leaving the restaurant where she works and walking out into the night. It's a lovely tribute to Judy and Gaga nails it beautifully.

[YouKnowWhereYouWentWrong]

I'm old enough to know about (and to have seen) every version of this movie. This is without a doubt the best. The performances, the songs, the absolutely undeniable on-screen chemistry between Cooper and GaGa (that kind of chemistry either IS or ISN'T, and they have it in spades) - it all gels incredibly. I see Oscars and Grammys for the film and the music.

[BumblebeeDeeDee]

Seen this movie 4 times! Can't wait for the DVD to see if there are any extras, deleted scenes, commentary & any Cooper bloopers!! LOL! Awesome film! Should take home all of the Oscars! Outstanding performances by Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga & Sam Elliott! Seeing Sam cry, backing out of the driveway, is Oscar worthy as well! Made everyone in the theatre cry!Perfect movie! Magnificent chemistry between Bradley Cooper and Lady GaGa!!! Best remake ever!! Soundtrack is amazing & Target has an exclusive poster in with the CD! Would make an excellent Christmas gift for someone who really loved the movie! Got mine before they all sell out! Want to see it again before it leaves the theater because the sound was amazing & the music was so damn good!!! Tip:TAKE A BIG BOX OF TISSUES WITH YOU FOR THIS ONE & PASS THEM AROUND, ESPECIALLY TO THE PERSON NEAREST YOU THAT IS CRYING THEIR EYES OUT!!!😭😭😭 Such a beautifully made film!! Great job Bradley Cooper! You just gave me hope for films to be great again!!👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤
