I have to say after seeing it was written and directed by Justine Bateman I had to check out the flick. Big fan of younger brother Jason and always admired Justine, I knew I would not be disappointed. To me this was indicative of her early success and probably not living up to a more stellar career put pen to paper and great direction came up with this gem of a movie. Doubt, fear, anxiety, second guessing, childhood abuse, abandonment, neglect, and all the things associated with not feeling worthy enough is all shown here. Great cast of characters along with the entire back story made it all interesting. Kudos to Ms. Bateman...
What do I expect from La La Land nowadays? Something somewhat funny and well written. You will not find it here. Lackluster characters and a story that has been told numerous times with far better results.
This film came up on my list to view. I have always been a fan of Mr. Schaeffer and enjoyed his earlier work such as Fall, After Fall, Winter ( sequel ) Mind The Gap, and even If Lucy Fell which got terrible reviews but I enjoyed it.
