The movie was great but...

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2019)

I loved the movie up until you find out the ending.
Writers, and I am one, seem to have become enamored with doing away with the happy endings their audience want and La La Land did this exact thing.
The story was simple but nice, the singing, dancing, music, and acting were exceptional and well in keeping with the old Hollywood extravaganzas like Singing in the Rain.
The ending to this movie, while not completely sad, certainly wasn't the happy ending I think most people wanted to see and, for me, turned a happy experience into a sad one.
I wish I had rented it instead of buying it because I likely won't be watching it again.
