COMMUNITY REVIEWS

LLL submitted by a2sue on July 23, 2017, 11:20pm La La Land was horrible and the Academy must have been on drugs when they selected it as best picture!!!!

Rather mediocre submitted by timdufresne on July 6, 2018, 9:05am The songs are... nice but not memorable or exciting. This is supposed to be a musical and after it ended I could only remember a few bars of one song. The last five minutes are fantastic. Had that been chopped off and submitted as a short film it would absolutely deserve an Oscar in it's category. But 5 minutes of imaginative cinematography does not a compelling movie make.

I'm sympathetic to the criticism that it's WHITE jazz. submitted by lisa on August 16, 2018, 12:48pm Nice love letter to LA tho.

Beautiful submitted by lstorc on August 27, 2018, 4:58pm This was imaginative, compelling, and head great costuming! It's a lovely nod to musicals.
