Review of Barracuda (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 18 Dec 2016

Far and out the best movie I've seen all year, and with the very end of the year rapidly approaching, I think it's highly likely that it'll stay that way! I simply can't heap enough praise upon this film! Everything it about it was absolutely perfect and amazing! The song and dance numbers were all an absolute joy to watch and did such a wonderful job of paying homage to many golden age musicals and classic cinema! Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have never been better and were perfectly in tune with each other! The story and message is universal and was one I certainly felt that I could relate to and many others as well I'm sure, because if there's any movie that you need to lift your spirits and remind you to always follow your dreams, this is the one to turn to without a doubt! Just when I thought that director Damien Chazelle couldn't possibly outdo himself after 2014's also brilliant "Whiplash", man was I in for a pleasant and more than welcome reality check with this film! Overall, it's a film that made me laugh, smile, and even just about cry tears of joy from start to finish! Why can't more films be as beautiful and joyful as this!? Then again, that's what'll help this film stand out all the more and make it remain not just as an even more unique and special film, but also an even more unique and special experience for years and years to come!
