Lala indeed

Rating: 6/10 (3 February 2018)

The opening scene features a women singing to the camera whilst sitting in a traffic jam, however it really looks as though she is miming which in a way is quite fitting because after all the film is called lala land and in many ways the makers of this one had carte blanche when it came to putting it together. The best thing beside the walking baselines in the soundtrack are probably the references to the 1950s Hollywood cinema as the whole spectacle is very much a self addressed cinematic love letter. The aesthetic is pleasing, but this is all form and no substance, if you want to see something truly unoriginal then you should give this a try. Really this is like watching a computer game trailer for a classic movie.
