Review of Barracuda (2017) by Vulvurat — 25 Mar 2017
La La Land is pure cinematic beauty. Accompanied by Justin Hurwitz's beautiful music, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling bring Damien Chazelle's floating, dreamy masterpiece to life with careful, singing emotion.
Why is La La Land so good? I think because it summarizes the crisis, the passion and joy, but also the sorrow and pain of an artist's life. Set in a magical, half-imagined LA, every movement and magical note is essential to the wholeness of this film, from the very first glimpse to the ending credits.
Ryan Gosling's performance embodies the very crisis of an artist who loves music but is overlooked so badly. His half-bored, half-enthusiastic impressions make the movie very entertaining. Emma Stone is brilliant.
Without her elaborately subtle and honest performance, the movie would lose part of it's magic. I believe she is one of the very best young actresses. La La Land challenges you emotionally, but leaves you much more richer in the soul.
One of the best films I have ever seen.
