- Sam Elliott’s silent tear and the brothers’ inability to speak directly are expected to remain a durable meme and emotional truth.
- Jackson’s “dig deep in your soul” speech to Lady Gaga about truth and having legs is treated as inspirational. — Bill Simmons
- The ending improved on rewatch because Gaga’s performance cuts back to Bradley Cooper creating the song.
- The soundtrack is expected to endure because its two musical personas both have convincing songs. — Sean Fennessey
