[CoolioD1]

I took an 8 year old to see it and it bored him. When I asked why he said it was "too derivative of Jacques Demy to be interesting"

I imagine from the looks of it, pre-teens could enjoy it if they're into film.

Absolutely.

 

In fact, aside from some profanity, this could've easily been rated PG.

So if they're extremely precocious?

The story might bore them but they might be entertained by all the colors and beautiful cinematography lol.

ok there's nothing inappropriate right?  Just bad words? I'm  thinking of taking my niece to see it next week. She's already seen Moana..

Yeah, there's just a few bad words and that's it.

Is it just damns and shits?

[ban1o]

mmm i'm thinking this will most likely win BP. I can't think of anything else that will topple it. Moonlight is also doing very well at the critics awards but that's not the sort of film the academy will take too.

This would be a very worthy Best Picture winner. As I said earlier, people will still be talking about this movie a few decades from now.

lol  I think it looks good I think just from what I've seen it just almost looks like it's trying so hard to be "charming" and "old school" that for some reason its kind of  putting me off. t's weird cuz I was love musicals lol. I'll see what I think next week. 

[filmlover]

That awkward moment when you really want to see a movie again and the closest it's playing is 1,250 miles away (thanks, Google Maps!).

having seen this I thank god Miles Teller-Emma Watson didn't happen. It would have set the entirely different, much less pleasant tone. 

 

I really question the initial idea of hiring Miles Teller for a musical role like this, where one of the main factors (or biggest really) is that viewers need to connect with the characters through main leads' chemistry and likability

Indeed. It really doesn't get much better than Stone + Gosling.

 

They really have sizzling chemistry. I've been a fan since Crazy Stupid Love. Heck, I endured Gangster Squad and Sean Penn for them lol.

Miles Teller is unlikable. He would have been terrible lol

lol Gangster Squad. To this day, I still have no clue what accent Gosling was going for there.

The soundtrack is available now, Another Day of Sun and Someone in the Crowd is slaying me. By February, when it is screened here, I think I memorized these songs already lmao!

That too lol, maybe he knew it'll be shit anyway so he just went ham for the fun of it. 

 

I was really looking forward to the movie. Except Sean Penn, it starred a bunch of my favorites: Gosling, Stone, Pena, Brolin, Mackie...and I was also interested in having a noir crime thriller (we don't have much of it anymore in recent years). But well....

That number (the opening scene) is so going to become a favorite among cinephiles.

Fuck you @filmlover I can't handle this much hype and you're making it worse
