The Freebie centers on Darren (Shepard) and Annie (Aselton), a young married couple with an enviable relationship built on love trust and communication. Darren and Annie still enjoy each other’s company and laugh at each other’s jokes, but, unfortunately, they can’t remember the last time they had sex. When a dinner party conversation leads to an honest discussion about the state of their love life, and when a sexy bikini photo shoot leads to crossword puzzles instead of sex, they begin to flirt with a way to spice things up. The deal: one night of freedom, no strings attached, no questions asked. Could a freebie be the cure for their ailing sex life? And will they go through with it? With a keen eye and fresh take, Aselton’s directorial debut shines with crisp storytelling and fine-tuned performances. THE Freebie is an insightful and humorous look at love, sustaining relationships , and the awkwardness of monogamy when the haze of lust has faded.
7.5/10。很巧，一天看两部音乐、传记类。对比的话，一群会唱歌的演员形成的化学反应，压过了如果没有本人感人故事就会沦为普通过生平的记录。
未必是最好的影片，却是当下最难得，最契合个人情绪状态的电影。同片中的主人公一样，在某项事业上投入了数年的时间精力，却没有得到任何回报，而身边所有美好的一切也一点点从自己生命中逝去。到底是再投入数年时间，还是退出这个行业另谋出路呢？我的人生又还有几个年头允许自己这么去挥霍消磨呢？
粉丝向作品，表演刻意，音乐随意，缺乏亮点，强行催泪。
I may never find a musical that speaks to me like La La Land, or maybe it’s not a musical I should be looking for. And stories like these, they make you wander why, and how could I.
稍微失望了，但是加菲深情的眼神我可以加一星
加菲还是帅的，镜头和剪辑的处理比故事更好，泳池里的时刻惊艳
艺术门类大融合的流媒体年代，更能看出各门艺术类型独立存在的意义。某种跨界的“壁”，不是调试视听语言、精简叙事节奏就能轻松突破的——更何况，如这般自信的“创作者”所钟爱的，就是用所谓原汁原味的懒惰挑战双边的水准。
一开场Jon Larson介绍自己是音乐剧编剧时声称one of the last my species，到如今LMM把他的故事搬上银幕，this movie is a love letter from one Musical-theater writer to another.
歌曲的旋律不错，但歌词更像口水歌，至于人物原型，由于对舞台剧零认识，艺术家的悲歌，作品都是创作者死后才能发扬光大，身价倍增，因为已绝迹！
但也说了凡事尽力而为
不会有人在意那些落下的不同步调者，
以为是故事，其实是哲学，以为是哲学，其实是求索以为是求索，其实是人生指南
一直在等seasons of love, 原来是最难的故事啊。看到桑爷好难过。
希望大家不要给自己太多压力
从开场便知这是这是一出无解悲剧，从各个方面都沉湎所谓梦的光芒里。
动画之于电影，电影之于音乐剧——绝对是利大于弊。另外很喜欢他朋友的段落，激发灵感、激发情感、激发问题，而问题恰是死亡无法掩盖之物的答案。不过影片的音乐（尤其前半部分）不是我菜。P.S. 加菲从头含泪至尾，心疼了心疼了。
加菲总是让我想到Angels in America 虽然musical可能真的不是我的genre 但还是很感人很燃
给LMM跪了，歌写得好，拍电影居然也这么棒，完美的电影化，超过In the Heights一个La La Land吧
