Shot like shit (which is understandable) but mostly that you need to project so much to justify this ending. I think it would work way better if the movie made more associations with Disney like when they watched the fireworks, but as it stands, it feels like it only exists because people will go “I know that place” and make the association from the story to the ending themselves. 148 upvotes · 54 comments. r/Broadway.

One the one hand, yes it's funny that someone thinks La La Land has one of the most brutal ending ever but, on the other hand, it's a LetterBoxd review that is longer than 1 sentence.

It's just well done on every level: the acting is smooth, natural, and very expressive, the dialogue is snappy and funny yet emotional when it needs to be, the direction is incredible with how complex some of the camera movements are, the colors in the shots are gorgeous, the characters are extremely You know I wanted that for us , at least this last time cass. I wanted to come to an understanding that this isn’t gonna work because our paths just… I was a big fan of the ending sequence in American in Paris so I really appreciated it!!

The film claimed the coveted statuettes Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Director (Damien Chazelle), Best Original Score (Justin Hurwitz), Best Original Song (“City of Stars,” music by Hurwitz, lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin 2cQ3w.
