Awful, painful movie to watch. Over-hyped

Rating: 3/10 (25 January 2017)

It was such a below average movie. One thing expected of a musical is great music, music that you come out humming, but it could not give me one. There are only occasional pieces of piano and Jazz which were nice.
The opening score was so long and horrible.
I really hated the motion-blur effect in the movie. The characters were the typical LA artists, struggling. There was nothing to the characters, no complexity with the characters, no complexity in the relationships between characters.
Ryan Gosling was a really bad singer. It was too long for the content, I kept watching my phone to know the time. Almost slept during the movie.
