I enjoyed it, more than I thought I would. One big flaw, the last 3rd of the film wasn't as good as the first two.But Green Book (2018) was superior in every category imo.
I suspect both films will win some awards.
I tend to agree. I liked A Star Is Born, but perhaps the more depressing theme in the third act made it less great. Although, yes, it's certainly a story that needed to be told.
But yeah, I just saw Green Book and found it pretty superb. That and VICE are my favorites for Best Picture this year. The Favourite sucked and I haven't seen Roma yet, but I'm trying.
And I think First Man got snubbed from a Best Picture nomination. Liked it a lot.

Vice was excellent too. I enjoyed that more than A Star is Born as well. Bale was great as expected.
The Favorite I tried to watch but lost interest quickly, might give it another shot.
Not seen Roma either.

Watched it last night. I definitely admired it more than I liked it. It's very slow moving and takes probably the entire first act to hook you much. I think he definitely deserves Best Director, but the story reminded me of shitty feminist literature I was forced to study in high school. The male characters are scumbags and the women just have to be stronger to overcome. So yeah, given the current state of man-hating in the media it will probably win Best Picture.
I HOPE that wasn't the point of the story, but it was definitely there. But the way it's filmed is brilliant, so yeah he needs best director for it.
