I am a very late audience having just watched it. Paying homage to past musicals is lovely but what about some originality while you're at it. Dancing in the night sky amounts the stars, MOULIN ROUGE. Then we have the theatrical light cues lifted from ONE FROM THE HEART. On to, THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, which I just was made aware of in his bio that UMBRELLA'S is one of his favorite films. Then there is a scene where the two of them walking on a studio lot while filming is happening, they stop and talk. That would never happen. They would be asked to be quite or move on. The film for me had no heart. The production design towards the end was so tacky. Very disappointed. Am I the only person that notices Ryan Gossling has a problem with one of his eyes. He is still a bit of eye candy.
