I enjoyed La La Land. Found it quite charming but I don’t think it quite deserves all of the lavish praise it’s been getting.
This is probably because I went on a Fred Astaire binge a couple years back, but I found La La Land’s execution quite clumsy a lot of the time.
It was a decent effort and I hope it leads to at least a small revival of the genre. Though hopefully they’ll strive to match the artistry and skill of the past in the future.
Just saw it last night with my wife, and I would say we both thought it was really great and fun, but not as good as everyone seemed to make it sound. I felt like the singing and overall choreography for the first few scenes felt clumsy and not very professional, but the movie picked up and had some really great moments.
