Review of La La Land (2016) by Tommaso — 27 Feb 2017

I think it is a great movie, Ryan and Emma are really incredible actors (I remember them in "Crazy, Stupid Love"). I'm not a fan of musicals. This is one of the two musicals I liked to date: the other one is "Mamma Mia".

Both are great musicals but they are completely different. Personally, I liked Mamma Mia more than La La Land. I don't know why Mamma Mia's Metascore is just 51 and La La Land's is 93. This film is maybe a "little" overrated.

I just saw it yesterday. Mamma Mia's soundtrack was made with songs of Abba, songs everybody knows. When they sang in that movie, it all seems normal. But in this movie, you can realize while watching that it's not real, not normal.

I love the concept, the story. But I hated the final. It is different from the one I thought before. But, you know, a good movie is determinated by a good final. Good, but boring sometimes. I'm happy it won 6 Oscars, but I don't think it deserved 14 Nominations.

Just a normal movie, I cannot wait to see it again. Maybe I'll like it more than the first time I saw it.
