Review of Barracuda (2017) by Astrowhiz — 29 Apr 2017

I like musicals, but I left La La Land slightly disappointed. Ryan and Emma are good in their roles, but unfortunately they're only so-so singers and dancers. I did like the chemistry between them though.

The movie only has one good song, which I think the film-makers recognized as it's used again and again in the film. The cinematography is good, but the staging and direction are very safe and unoriginal.

I'd contrast it with a movie like Chicago, which was very inventive with how to present the music in each scene.
