La La Land: Ode to all Artists

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2016)

La La Land: This film is a gem, I can't express enough how much I love this film. As a person that's not so much Into musicals I can finally say that I Loved a musical. La La Land is an ode to jazz, but not just jazz. It's an ode to all the artists. From musicians to actors and actresses. The struggle of those who want to achieve better things, to those who have dreams. I can truly say that this film, is by far my favorite and the best film of 2016. Both actors Emma Stone who plays an aspiring actress, and Ryan Gosling who plays a musician that plays jazz on the piano. Bot characters were fleshed out, and both performances delivered. This film is not only about music but the romance is very strong in this film. Both actors have played and worked together in other films before. But as of now nothing beats the performance they showed in this film. This film is being played in limited cinemas and the reason being is because the studio wanted this film to be a contender for the Oscar's. For those that want to wait, it will have a wide release in January.I would not be surprised if Emma Stone get a nomination for best lead actress. She is phenomenal! And I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan Gosling gets a nomination as well, plus the film for best screenplay and for best motion picture. I can't express enough how good Emma Stone is in this Picture. She truly shines and stands out in this picture. I highly recommend this film, you will not take away from the movie, and you will definitely love the music that the film revolves around. My only problem with the film was the ending. It's nothing bad of sort, it's still amazing and wonderful, but it messed with my heart, and my feelings were hurt. It messes with concept of "what if" once people get see this movie they will understand. But regardless, if you like musicals mixed with heavy romance and comedy. This film is must see! La La Land: 9.8/10
