La La Land
Mia, an aspiring actress, serves lattes to movie stars in between auditions and Sebastian, a jazz musician, scrapes by playing cocktail party gigs in dingy bars, but as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart.

Wonderfully acted, choreographed, filmed, and so on. Some of the big set pieces are amazing. I really appreciate Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone actually singing, and not being dubbed or autotune’d to hell and back. Overall a spectacular film that deserved the slew of awards it won
But… I don’t really gel with the characters. I’m not invested in them, and that makes the whole thing a bit of a drag.
