Nostalgic references to classic Hollywood — like that «Presented in CinemaScope» title card in the beginning and the two main characters» first date at a screening of Rebel Without a Cause — don't excite me as much as they used to, and nor does a movie that, to my mind, simple - mindedly posits the John Legend character as a kind of villain for daring to think progressively about jazz — an entirely noble and necessary endeavor, whatever you may think of the music his character actually creates — rather than remain rooted to the past like Ryan Gosling's character does.
