Mother Monster has acted in a leading role twice. A Star Is Born was about Ally, an aspiring singer who become famous but lost the love of her life. House of Gucci tells a story of Patrizia Reggiani who is famous for being married to Maurizio Gucci and convicted for having him killed. She was nominated for Oscar for the former and perhaps also for the latter, we'll find out in January. But which movie is better and why? Let's discuss!!

 

 

 

A Star Is Born is available for streaming (where, depends on the country lol) and rent and airs on BBC One on December 29

 

House of Gucci is in theaters now - go and see it!!

It's difficult because the movies are so different. House of Gucci is more fun but ASIB is simple and effective. However, it kind of tries to manipulate your feelings more than HoG.

What a poll :drama:

 

I have to go with my heart though and choose 'A Star is Born' - that film and its soundtrack truly changed me and had such a huge huge lasting impact on me :cry: Few films will match the gravitas at which this film hit me!

Yep the soundtrack plays a MASSIVE role on ASIB, the music numbers are sublime.

A Star Is Born just about pips it, the soundtrack helping majorly! I prefer Gaga's role in House of Gucci as it show cases much more than just being a popstar turned actress.

ASIB.

 

Echoing the comments about the fact the soundtrack really helped. We had some really special music that won't ever grow old for me.

Acting and performance wise House of Gucci >>> A Star is Born but in terms of my response to each of the films, ASIB wins. Both are great though but the emotional connection wins it for me.

I chose HoG because I find it more thrilling movie at this point.

I love both but gotta be ASIB at the moment

Bumping this

A Star Is Born is a better film overall but Gaga gave a better performance in House of Gucci. I think they're too hard to compare given their differences but that's how I see it.

HOG because Gaga is actually a real actress in it and not a singer playing an actress like she did in ASIB.

Yes my thoughts too, it's really is a 100% movie role and zero music.
