La La Land sent the cinematic world into a frenzy, and I can't quite say I understand the hype. A musical in 2017 is bound to send people into a frenzy of excitement, anticipation and nostalgia. However, I think it was a bit over done. The beautiful dance scene after the party was a scene well though out enough to get all of our 1950s musical senses tingling, however didn't the iPhone ring just ruin it? I can see what the filmmakers are trying to do here, but isn't it a bit overbearing and too ironic? Irony is best served subtly. Although, the songs were captivating and both actors delivered beautiful performances and I won't forget about it any time soon. Worth seeing, even if it is to just be a bit confused by the concept.
