The story is quite enjoyable. All female actresses showed some very convincing acting, especially Anya Taylor-Joy. Unfortunately, James McAvoy was the worst part of the movie. He did over-acting up to the point that it became annoying. He tried way too hard to portray the roles. The way he tried to be Hedwig and Barry was too much over-acting and looked very fake. James McAvoy has no clue how to act like a 9 year old child that Hedwig was supposed to be. He does it too stereotypical and too over-the-top. The female roles in the movie had to compensate for the lack of acting talent of James McAvoy. Luckily, the actresses were so good that it ended up being a good movie. The story wasn't the problem, because it was good. The main problem was the choice to cast a very unskilled actor, James McAvoy. His bad acting ruined the movie, but the excellent story and good actresses made it worth watching.

The movie itself isn't bad. It could be a good movie. What strikes me is the anti-Chinese sentiments that is repeatedly expressed in this movie. The French-Anglo director Damien Chazelle is obviously racist against the Chinese.

First, he made Ryan Gosling tell the audience that nobody would ever want Chinese coffee. Later on, Emma Stone's boyfriend who's supposed to portray a real jerk, shows that he does business with Chinese people. He also tells that the Chinese is building a bridge (which is controversial) as a hidden political message to the movie viewer.

This Frenchman obviously has a lot of hidden anti-Chinese frustration and tries to use La La Land as racist anti-Chinese propaganda for his own hidden political racist views against ethnic Chinese people.

The movie's story itself wasn't bad and it was quite well executed but ruined by the butt-hurt personal political frustration of this racist French-Anglo director/writer, Damien Chazelle. It's no wonder that an Asian Man-White woman couple is the only couple that has been banned from showing in this movie.

If the movie wasn't politically motivated, I would give it a higher score.

There is nothing scary about this cheap movie full of rip-off clichés. They are so desperate to get your attention that they even try to pander to racist viewers by blaming Leprosy disease on Chinese people. The acting is awful and painful to watch. The atmosphere is a complete joke. Not scary at all.

The start of the movie is too rushed. They try to go into the fog thing too early. Then, it's foggy everywhere and they just throw in one stupid thing after the other. It doesn't work. It really shows Rupert Wainwright's lack of talent and originality. The only thing he does is copy and rip-off existing concepts. All supposedly action scenes are executed horribly. I started to get fed up with this movie really quickly.

Stephen King's The Mist is the exact opposite of this terrible movie. Go watch that instead. Don't waste your time watching this garbage.
