This is my first review and after watching it is one the one I wanted to begin with. Firstly for the separate category, paying attention to the cinematography it was very well shot. The main theme is pretty catchy and stays with you the whole movie and direction is brilliant(the over all reason it did so well considering the script wasn't perfect)and keeps you entertained, stopping certain scenes in particularly from becoming dull.
The missing of better sub plot or sub storys was a let down and characters around had a small amount of characterisations which i'm sure wasn't completely necessary but it is something the audience would love to of seen. The main characters have little change and i hate to say it but for someone that judges acting it was quite brilliant. On the contrary the movie needed those actors full of joy, great energy and life in them.
Seeing this is Damien Chazelle's third movie I am completely impressed (Whiplash was better though) to see such an enthusiastic approach to film. You can see that deeper meaning to him and you just know that the love for music can make viewers love the music or drums in his other movie.
Finally yes it had missing links, yes the ending wasn't the best and the conflict was a bit messy but it was so fun to watch, enthralling, original and Oscar worthy for sure. The dancing and singing is a great idea for a modern film and what i love about it is most audiences can watch it. Older people and younger as well as in the middle because it is just like that and that is what i'm sure the non self indulgent Damien was aiming for. If i had to say one more thing it would be work on the script a little bit more but in general if you want an experience of the moment that you may not remember in time this is a great one to watch!!!!!
