La La Land - your opinions


I was disappointed by it, though I so wanted to like it going in. It is a very downbeat movie and I expected something different.

I don't know. Just felt the main characters had no chemistry together. Couldn't name one song that was memorable. But I understand a lot of people like it a lot. Would like to hear from them the reasons why. I must have missed something.

Personally, I liked it a lot.

City of stars...

I like La La Land, and have lately come to the theory that the story is about dreams being living forces, and that they are manipulating reality for their own benefit

I liked it but I feel I was influenced by all the great reviews the film was getting. Now that all the hoopla has died down, I should watch it again and see how I really feel about the film.

Conversely, I expected to like it and didn't, but also think maybe I should give it another try.

I fear my dislike was mostly shallow... I didn't like the story or the songs and I usually like those actors (the leads). I couldn't really complain about the acting, actually, I don't think, but I was certainly puzzled by all the Oscar noms.
