Yes, the story is lacking, the characters lack depth. There's like no chemistry between Keanu and Alice.. I'm a fan of Keanu and I'm in love with Alice Eve but seriously! Together there's nothing...
That being said, it's an entertaining tale that explores a scenario that is plausible in the near future.
It makes you question our ethics and morals when it comes to cloning and that's enough for me to like the movie.
I won't be watching it twice and it won't turn into a classic, but it's not as terrible like people claim it is on here.

A Star Is Born
(2018)
Good movie but not the great movie people claim it is.

Bradley Cooper is great. Gaga is good for being her first film. The story is very weak and predictable. There's only the struggle of both without any surprises.
You'll be happy with the acting, but expect not much more.

Real, candid film about one's life

So I'm biased, I watched the film because I admire Nathalie Fay's work. So please keep that in mind. I watched the film with an open mind and I'm still amazed with the quality of the film based on the budget they had. After watching an interview with the director, I'm even encouraged to make a film myself. I was amazed by the quality of the shooting, the way he captures Simone's expressions and the perfect pauses, transitions, and timing on the events that occur in the film. I must say I felt identified by the story in both aspects, I also had a layover in LAX on my way to Hawaii and I was "stuck" all night and did something very similar to the Character so I could totally relate with the story. Nathalie Fay is of course amazing in the role of Simone. This movie shows why I admire her as an actress. She's real. I don't know her in person but I could imagine herself identifying with the character a lot and providing an outstanding performance. The film has some naive dialogue that I had no problem overlooking as it does not diminish the quality of the film. There are plenty of scenes that I felt identified with and I was thinking about my own situations and how I was reacting to those situations, and I found that to be a powerful trigger that this film can have such an effect on you. I'd definitely recommend it as the film might make you examine your own life, and leaves you with a message that might not be the same for everyone.
