If you want to "write a love letter to Hollywood" do it on your own time. This movie was as boring as the proverbal bat ****.

I really enjoyed the opening half hour. Loved the singing, the dancing, the tap number. But then that all that went away and we were left with... real life? Yay. That you so much. Because of course we love musicals due to their ability to keep us in reality! 😆😆😆🙄

Hollywood sucks and destroys relationships while it's at it.

Yes. We know.

Hollywood sucks, plain and simple.

What happened to the Fred and Ginger of it all? What happened to happy endings and feel good? What happened to decent music and great dancing? What?!

Oh yeah. Hollywood.

No wonder this movie won so many Oscars. Now I get it. It's sad and depressing, and a desperate bid by Hollywood to make itself relevant again.

Ryan Gosling was the only good thing in this movie, plus the open dance sequence.

Why did Emma Stone win best Actress? She's a mediocre actress at best, and that in a depressing film. But I guess they were aiming for something to redeem themselves.

I didn't watch this movie when it came out in 2016. And I'm sorry I watched it now. Fred and Ginger were transcendant. This movie is anything but.
