I just saw the movie. I definitely liked it but I can see why some people wouldn’t. The acting alone is worth the price of admission. Everyone is just perfect in their roles. Lady Gaga is a tour de force. Adam Driver is the straight man with a dark side. Jared Leto is fucking hilarious in his unrecognizable role. Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons are their typical powerful selves. The movie tells a really interesting story and sometimes it’s actually fucking hilarious. The problem is that it is unfocused at parts and drags a little. However just because the movie was a little too long that’s not enough reason to not recommend it. There’s way more good than bad here and I’d recommend it.
Just because critics feel a certain way shouldn’t influence anyone’s personal opinion.
