Unpopular opinion: Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles is the most overrated film of the decade

Look, I wanted to love Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
