La La lands occasionally

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2018)

Finished rewatching La la land. After seeing it twice the elements that stands out the most are the cinematography and directing. The set design is vibrant and just fun to watch. The inclusion of magical realism also added an extra layer to the films design. The director did a great job crafting a world based around the extravagance of magical realism.
Acting wise the movie was solid, I don't think best actress solid, but that is just me. Ryan Gosling was great as expected. I do think the pacing was a bit off near the halfway point. Cutting away a bit of the fat could have helped a bit. Overall a 8 out of 10.
