Great entertainment right across the board

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2018)

As an avid fan of musicals, I too was slightly underwhelmed by La La Land, so approached this film with low expectations, but came out of the cinema thinking "now THAT was a musical!". It looked amazing (the hairpieces were a bit dodgy in places but I have a thing about bad wigs....AND obviously empty suitcases and handbags but thats another story) the songs, even though new to me, were great, the costumes were dazzling and the dance routines jaw dropping. I KNOW it wasn't exactly factually accurate, but that wasn't why I'd gone to see it, I have other places to go if I want a history lesson. It was a true spectacle - can't wait for it to become a Christmas family staple.
