Take 1: Watching John Legend play a sold-out version of himself is fun, but the theme of expressing truth in creative work, not just for profit but self-satisfaction, makes a lot of sense in La La Land every time Ryan Gosling does puppy dog eyes.
Take 2: La La Land is so good that my eight-year old told me she loved it after I made her sit and watch when she preferred another round of MCU repeats.
