No - you are not alone. It's OK & I enjoyed it in parts - it's very slick & professionally done - I'm not keen on ending because I thought I'd leave the cinema on a high & feeling good but I just felt disappointed. Not worth all the awards & nominations.
The general consensus about this film seems to be that it was quite good, but was most definitely over hyped. For me it didn't compare to either Manchester By The Sea or Lion. Just wondering if Hollywood loved it so because it was about err Hollywood
I haven't seen hardly anything about it. It's a musical. I haven't heard any of the songs played, no idea of the story line, just a load of hype about how it would win 14 oscars.
I saw La La Land and it was the biggest load of garbage I have ever sat through! If I had not paid almost £9 for my ticket I would have walked out, in fact 4 people did walk! I Think it is a highly over rated film, with a 2nd rate cast and 3rd rate music. Nothing I heard has stayed in my head, unusual for a musical! Get a life USA !!
gma, if La La Land is indeed the "biggest load of garbage " you have ever at through - lucky you. I agree, it's somewhat over rated - but there are very many much worse films out there.
Opening set piece a classic - great cinematography. Musical theme well balanced and great original jazz scores Costumes - nicely done with a nod to retro. Ditto the dancing.
I enjoyed the love story and it addressed the conflicts that can that arise. Not all love stories have a Happy Ending!
I found this film uplifting and easy-going. Enjoyed the La La Land dream ending and the contrast to the reality.
Of it's genre, a thoroughly enjoyable watch. Oscar material ..... not really ... But enjoyed it's originality.
I heard on tv from a musician that the songs in la la land were very simplistic because the actors were not good singers; this is why they were so forgettable. Ditto the dancing! A nice film but not top rate.
