One of the big problems with films about music in cases where the music isn't from the real world is that the music is usually awful. This fact is what made movies like A Star Is Born stand out: Lady Gaga did her thing. The "beats" that come out of this film and the accompanying rap is absolute trash. Cringeworthily bad. I literally think I could make better music myself, and I gave up music years ago. Aside from this the acting is somewhat poor and the story cliché. I tried to watch it waiting for a flight at the airport, but staring into the wall at Charles de Gaulle quickly became more interesting.
