They don't know how to write reviews. 

 

They are both very capable of writing reviews and McCarthy and Gleiberman certainly know how to write well (not common) and know cinema.  But too often these trade reviews are more in depth critique than review, which is great to read AFTER you've seen the movie, not before - which is what reviews are meant for.

Trade reviews are aimed at industry people who aren't as sensitive to spoilers as movie geeks. Really, for any review you should just read the first and/or last paragraph (the thesis) if you don't want spoilers

It continually boggles my mind how Variety and Hollywood Reporter's reviews are just recaps of the whole movie. 

in an ideal world, reviews wouldn't have synopsis or detailed plot descriptions.

[Arlborn]

Seems like I made the right decision about not reading the reviews this time around after having been burned too many times this year.

I thought the same thing as well. 

La La Land could be the highest non-Twilight grosser for Summit if reviews and Oscar buzz continue to be fantastic and audiences fall in love with it.

What's the budget on this? 20-30m tops? It will become a hit pretty easy.

I wish more people understood this. Also the whole anti-spoiler movement is bloody ridiculous.

It's a movement now? Has your commute been interrupted by anti-spoiler protesters in the streets?

Yeah, but @NuTella Lover of Sky Beams is an industry person who's super sensitive to spoilers. Hmm.

Yes.

 

Yes it has.

Put another way, they're aimed at industry people who have a vested interest in knowing all the details about a film, including the spoilery ones. It's a style that's worked for them for decades

I know what you meant, I was just trying to rib tele.

I was just coming to post the same news.

I'm sure this is just the beginning of many awards for Emma this year, hopefully culminating with the Oscar. If Emma wins I'll party hardy and do an epic happy dance.

Damn it! They are screening La La Land at the Toronto International Film Festival, but I just checked the schedule for the upcoming Vancouver International Film Festival and it's not on the list.

I would have loved to see it in 2 or 3 weeks rather than wait until December, but no such luck.

[Fancyarcher]

Just saw this a few hours ago. I won't say much it, but that I loved it, and my favorite sequence in the film is one set in observatory / museum and has no dialogue, just music and features a lot of fantastical imagery. Also Gosling and Stone give some of the performances of their careers to date, and Chazelle's direction / script is top-notch. It's just a great movie!
