In five years, they'll call it a masterpiece, and deservedly so
I really loved this movie. I understand why others did not - but I did.
It was SINGIN IN THE RAIN and DAY OF THE LOCUST dropped in Owsley acid and smeared with feces, but it was wonderful.
It's wildly over the top and depraved, it captures the frenzied energy of the filmmaking process - especially during the "talkie" scene. It also moved me, Jean Smart's monologue to Brad, and that "cinematic conclusion". I loved it. The music, the Wild photography, the dedicated ensemble - everything is top notch. Paramount gave Damien Chazelle too much money and he ran wild with it, we are all the more lucky for it (and I say this having not liked WHIPLASH or LA LA LAND at all). I think we need more daring and original films like this instead of another superhero epic.
