Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2018)

The cinematography could be best described as claustrophobic and it's the perfect way to convey this story. Damien Chazelle is something else. I rank this in between La La Land and Whiplash. It was phenomenal. Ryan Gosling managed to make a boring and the lowest of key hero seem so complex and compelling. I'm very glad I don't have to choose between him and Bradley Cooper, easily the two best male performances I've seen in a long time. Claire Foy..... this was the first work of hers I've seen and I understand why she's so beloved, an absolute talent. It was definitely a slow burn but that final act was probably the most beautifully intense finale I've ever seen. The entire film was just such a technical achievement. I have a weird feeling it's not going to get the full credit it deserves, but this is undeniably another masterpiece at the hand of Chazelle. P.S. that score tho .....
