La La Land : I liked it, but…

First I didn't really think it needed to be a musical. The numbers didn't reach out like actual broadway musicals. Nice theme melody tho.

Second, it was good, but the award hysteria around it is a bit much. I think hollywood loves movies about hollywood and goes overboard with the self-congratulatory accolades. NPR's doing a story about how its received more Globe nominations than any other film. In history. Uh, I liked it fine, but it wasn't historically good, you know?

According to you. They people who's opinions matter declare it to be historically great.

No, I mean movie critics. Who end up right pretty much all the time, even if general audiences disagree.

Well, I think it's a stretch to call critics/media part of Hollywood (beyond being a tool), but I know what you mean.
