A Star Is Born
Seasoned musician Jackson Maine discovers — and falls in love with — struggling artist Ally. She has just about given up on her dream to make it big as a singer — until Jack coaxes her into the spotlight. But even as Ally's career takes off, the personal side of their relationship is breaking down, as Jack fights an ongoing battle with his own internal demons.
Critics Sentiment
Ally sings Shallow on stage with Jack for the first time
Jack hangs himself in the garage after lying to Ally
The film plunges from Jack's rehabilitation and hope (7.5) to his devastating suicide (5.0), the largest emotional drop in the narrative.
The film opens with exceptional energy and passion, building to the transcendent Shallow performance that serves as its emotional and artistic peak. While the middle sections maintain solid emotional investment, the final act becomes increasingly heavy, culminating in Jack's tragic suicide before recovering with Ally's powerful tribute performance.
