i like motion pictures

it's easy to see why La La Land is an awards-season darling - it's about Hollywood, it's a musical, it has two likeable leads, it's Damien Chazelle, and it has one of those popular open-ended alternate-reality life-has-no-happy-endings endings. you already know what's great about it so here's what i think isn't: it can't seem to decide whether it's a musical or not; Gosling, as compared to Stone; the romance builds up a little too quick; Sebastian's plotline breaks apart and suddenly returns as knight in shining armour; some nice shots but not Oscar-worthy cinematography. La La Land is an intriguing film, but it is not a GOAT film.
