Hollywood Escapism

Rating: 5/10 (9 February 2017)

It seems likely that La La Land is going to continue to pick up a rack of wins during the award season. This alone makes it worth watching as you can either agree or disagree with the awards panels around the globe.
For those people who don't know it is a musical that harks back to the classical musicals of the mid 20th century. The main storyline of the movie is the relationship between Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling). To be fair the two leads throw themselves into the movie and there is certainly chemistry between them.
To be honest there was probably less music and dance than I expected. The movie is a little too sweet for my tastes and I didn't especially care about what happened to any of the characters. Anyway you need to see the film and see what you think as there's no doubt that a lot of other people rate it extremely highly.
