I'm glad you experienced the same. That was the sense I got as well. To be fair though, the last 20 minutes-ish is fucking heavy.
But how was your chili hotdog

I mean yeah, that last 20 minutes devestated me. I think I held my breath the entire time during that scene with Bradley. The pair of them deserve all the awards! I think I’m going to go again tomorrow after work to see it on my own.
I thought she sounded amazing but the context was a little weird to me. ‘My husband wrote a song for me before he died, it’s about how I’ll never love anyone else’
During this scene all I could think was how much we'd all shit ourselves if a new popstar delivered those vocals and that choreo and that bop live on SNL.
Anyway went to see the film this afternoon and fell for basically every second of it. Magical first act, barely hits a false note craft-wise, songs are uniformly great and Gaga is pure magnetism, you can't take your eyes off her. Very excited to rewatch after familiarising myself with the soundtrack. The finale decimated me, I know it's a tiny bit Warren by numbers but Gaga sells the shite out of it. Shivers all over.
I hope she does it with Best Original Song but I bet Disney will be throwing everything at the Academy to get a Mary Poppins Returns win.
A film is allowed up to two nominations in the Best Original Song category and I'm sure Star will get two. The obvious ones are Shallow and I'll Never Love Again, and because of how familiar people already are with Shallow thanks to the trailers and how much that moment in the movie was talked about in the reviews, I almost think it has the edge.
I'll Never Love Again is obviously a much more fleshed out song. If Gaga actually does some promo for it and they're serious about pushing it as a single, then I could see the vote swinging in its favor. But as of now, I'd place more bets on Shallow.

What did your reluctant BF think?
Oh my this was so brilliant. Every moment was just engrossing.
I was genuinely surprised by how funny it was too. I didn’t expect to laugh so much!

Nominating multiple songs from the same movie is risky. Unless there is a clear frontrunner, it can split the vote.

I saw it today with my best friend (who doesn’t like Lady Gaga that much) and we both absolutely loved it. It’s a well-crafted movie and I don’t agree with a review claiming it’s basically 2 hours music videoclip at all. Also my parents invited me to go to see it with them this weekend and I can’t wait.
I understand why they’re going with ‘I Will Never Love Again’ single-wise but to be absolutely honest the song itself is just not strong enough in my opinion. ‘Shallow’ feels much more like a moment. But me, I was bopping to the SNL scene so what I know...
