I have also noticed it have won many, many prices and even more in this Oscar 2017.
When I read this comment by this movie critic I remembered what Jimbuna wrote.
I have come to the conclusion that maybe you have to have female genes to love or understand this movie.
No I have not seen as much of a second of this movie and I have no interest in seeing it-I don't like musicals.

Actually, the success of
La La Land is not all that surprising; it is what is called in Hollywood a "movie movie", a film celebrating aspects of film-making, in this case the beloved movie musicals of the past. It's just Hollywood giving itself a pat on the back. Nothing will get kudos from the film community more fervently than a film catering to the 'collective ego' of Hollywood. Considering the dross coming out of Hollywood nowadays, being able to look back with fondness at the past glories may be a bit of a balm to smooth over the hurt from the crass commercialism of major studio releases. Thankfully, there is still a lot of good viewing to be found in the independent film areas...
