A Star is Born Comes of Age — Chilling Account
An excellent film. Fosse’s direction is flawless as he takes us inside the world of a controller who loses his grip and power. Mariel is wonderful as Dorothy Statton. Eric Robert’s performance is of Oscar Caliber quality — his portrayal haunts you and you can see his weakness — you hate him, but a part of you can almost feel sorry for him until his real intentions are suddenly realized. This film was very well-done and deserves to be seen. This was Fosse’s last film and it deserves to be seen. From the first frame, one is drawn into a spiraling cycle of destruction. Mariel’s performance is perfect as she creates the naive young girl who as she changes into a more wordly woman who wants to explore life and all the possibilities which are opening for her. Much like A Star Is Born, this account of one Hollywood partner gaining fame as another falls. Not for the squeamish.

An interesting failure…
When director Bob Fosse set out to make a movie about murdered Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten, he obviously saw much of the main plot-potential in Stratten’s deranged husband/manager Paul Snider…and, distressingly, that’s who he seems to identify with throughout. The picture’s narrative is immediately shaky because Fosse has no interest in seeing both sides; Stratten is just a pawn in the proceedings. Fosse views Snider as a derailed dreamer who thought he finally found fame and fortune (via his wife), and the built-in apologia for Snider’s behavior feels sleazy. Eric Roberts is hard to take as Snider, spitting out his lines while twisting his face in rage, while poor Mariel Hemingway is hardly given a chance (and when her moments come, she’s sluggish and unsure). The editing is fairly tight, going back and forth in time while creating palpable dread, though the bloody flash-forwards are numbing, and Fosse’s documentary style (derivative from his “Lenny”) eventually exhausts itself. What was Fosse’s point? That Paul Snider was the ultimate victim? Absurd! ** from ****
