I was greatly looking forward to this movie. I had read many reviews and they all seemed very positive. This is one of the worst musicals that I ever watched in my life. I guess Baz Luhrmann would probably agree with me.
I love musicals, but I found this movie slow, boring, uneventful and at least an hour too long with unappealing characters. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling do their best, but they are not professional singers, and I suspect you could find better singers at any local amateur dramatic musical production. A few hours after this movie, I can't really remember anything worthwhile. OK, there’s one thing I remember clear as day: The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
I cannot figure out all the accolades this movie is getting from the Golden Globes, critics & user reviews. The ''musical'' La La Land is still on track to win 10 Oscars according to experts' picks at Gold Derby. The only reason why it must be getting all these awards is that is a movie about Hollywood, and the ''old fart'' Academy loves itself very much.
I think that Damien Chazelle should be prevented from ever making another film musical.
