All those 5 star reviews coming at once seem suspicious

I really thought FAD was gonna break records and give Gaga an acting Oscar. I even fantasized about it in my dreams

Predicting a high 80s RT score once all said and done similar to Barbie

how the hell is the audience able to review it but there's no critic reviews yet, seems fishy.

Critics review embargo hasn't been lifted yet. Nothing is fishy here.

Eh, the critics score is less biased, so let's wait for that one

Although honestly the Letterboxd scores always seem more reliable. Maybe it'll be around 3.5 there, which is pretty good

 

Letterboxd doesn't verify reviewer if they have actually seen the movie or not. As long as you have an old account you can leave a review. No way it's more reliable. RT actually verifies their audience score.

How can there be audience scores when the movie hasn't even been released yet?

Don't be sad monsters, GaGa had her big moment with ASIB. Let Ariana have her shine

Cynthia has a shot at BA but I feel like Ariana is locked for BSA  like a moment most pleasing to my career

just went to the advanced screening and OH MY GODDDD WHAT A GAGGG  

I can't remember the last time i had this much fun seeing a movie at the theater. Wizard of Oz was my fav movie as a kid, I've never seen Wicked the musical so i went into this not really knowing much and all the Oz references made my inner kid so happy  

Ari absolutely devoured but honestly the whole cast was pretty spot on. I got full body chills the first note Ari sang at the beginning, I miss those more operatic vocals from her, and although I never saw the play you can def tell she's emulating Kristin's energy a lot here. this is def my favorite movie this year and i already wanna see it again  her and Cynthia play off of each other so well

So far the main complaints I've seen seem to be about the cinematography. I barely even see anyone complaining about the length either. Most of the critics said it flew by and especially picked up in the last hour.

 

Cynthia and Ariana seem to be getting praise as well as the music numbers  I wonder if now that reviews seem good if this is locked for a $100M+ opening
