Assignment 17- Chelsea Avery

A few weeks ago I went with a couple friends to see "La La Land" after a close friend raved about it. I wouldn't go as far as to say it is overrated but it is definitely not the most spectacular movie of 2017. I particularly enjoyed the costumes, sets and colors of the film but the overall story took too long to develop and was kind of boring at times-- I fell asleep at some point in the middle. The music was nice but the dancing was only so-so, I noticed at times they cut the actors' feet out of the shots because Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling just aren't that great at dancing. Perhaps it is just because I am not a big fan of romance films, but the only real part I appreciated was the end (no spoilers). Overall, I would recommend this film to a friend who enjoys musicals, if they don't, its more or less just a waste of time.
