La La Long

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2017)

My goodness, what a disappointment! Good actors, good director and rewards all over the place. Also I really enjoy the musical genre, so I thought nothing could go wrong.
But this film is so long, boring and self-indulgent. No songs or dancing scenes will make a fond memory and you won't be humming any song on your way out.
All the jazz bits are pretentious, I felt no passion of sharing like I had felt in Whiplash. Here you just have to accept that Jazz is this big and sacred 'thing' (frankly that the worst thing you can say about anything...) and get that idea hammered through your head throughout the whole movie.
The story is bland, with lazy writing taking over and being the main star.
This movie just got me bored and happy to see the 'End' sign. First time I felt that way after a musical film, usually you come out of those with enough energy to get you through a couple of days.
