12/18/16 review of film La La Land, dir. by Damien Chazelle

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the film La La Land, directed by Damien Chazelle.

The thread gives a summary of the film. It discusses some aspects I liked about the film. It mentions some similarities the film has with other musicals -- Powell and Pressburger's The Red Shoes in particular. It discusses my feelings about the film's portrayal of Jazz. It views some aspects of the film through my understanding of the works of Thom Andersen. And it discusses the film's performances.

I saw this film at the Landmark Mayan Theatre in Denver, Colorado.
