John GreenGUEST
No disrespect to La La Land at all, but Moonlight is in Hollywood Ending because it's in my Letterboxd top four all-time movies, not just that year, but of ever.
John GreenGUEST
I think it is one of the most vulnerable, tender films ever made, and, like, the people of La La Land should have gotten up there and been like, "There has been a mistake."
