The film did not live up to my expectation.

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2017)

That Ryan Gosling takes role as a male main character reminds me of the film 'The note book' (2004), which also has the quite similar storyline to 'La La land' (2016), except the 2004's one left me with better impression and absorbed in thought. I have heard many compliments on 'La La land' before and my friend also recommends me this film. But after spending 2 hours for it, I end up feeling disappointed and let down. The plot is relatively regular and not hard to predict. However, I'll give an 8 for the stunning view and the marvelous starry sky scene.
