I try to evaluate a film considering mainly my experience, obviously within my context and my prejudices. And I also consider the genre to which the film belongs, taking my favorites from that genre as benchmarks (in this case, "The Sound of Music", "The Greatest Showman" and "La La Land"). I know that there is some anachronism in my analysis, but I can't deal well with a musical that is sung in every single word. It is extremely artificial and exaggerated - even annoying, irritating. It just spoils a good story, at least in my experience. Sorry, but it didn't work for me.
