Review of La La Land (2016) by Datamari — 12 Jan 2017
La La Land is simply wonderful. You watch this movie and you just can't help but smile; it's such a heartfelt, sweet and uplifting movie about proving to the naysayers that you CAN do it. Gosling and Stone both play performers who fall helplessly in love with each other, and while their performances aren't anything groundbreaking, it's their chemistry that makes them enjoyable to watch. Keep in mind, this isn't a movie about the struggles of making it in the music or actress business; this movie is meant to show the lighthearted side of life in L.A. The choreography is great, and the music is simply magical, City of Stars in particular is just beautiful. I guess my only real complaint is... well, Gosling can't sing, but that really doesn't matter, because Emma Stone makes up for it. La La Land is a fantastic film about dreams, passion and beauty, and it's by far my favorite film of 2016, and quite possibly one of the best of the decade. If you haven't seen this movie, what are you waiting for? Go experience it. Go dream.
La La Land gets a 10/10.
