tehomet | La La Land: meh

I went to see La La Land last night and was underwhelmed by it. The acting's great, especially Emma Stone's, the songs are good, obviously a lot of work and imagination went into the whole thing, but the plot is paper thin. When one clear conversation could've dealt with the main conflict, the protagonists just appear immature. And the choreography wasn't too good. For a song and dance flick, it's pedestrian.

One of the group I went to see it with loves musicals. Even she didn't like it. "14 Oscar nominations, me arse!" she said.
