I cried the entire way home after watching it, out of joy.

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2017)

I was awaiting this one with rather great tension, and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.
I will not talk about the musical - story ratio, how well written the female main character is or why I slapped the first person who insulted this movie in my proximity. What I will say is that I was never touched like this by any other work of art. This masterpiece takes itself very, very seriously. It takes its time to deliver the best paced love story I have witnessed, every single act being its own short, supported by almost stupidly well written and performed music as well as jokes which weren't even remotely out of place. Additionally, and by no means I want to undercut the other actors, Emma Stone delivered a performance which simply blew me away. Just 10 minutes in I was absolutely convinced this will grant her an Oscar, thankfully that was eventually the case.
The movie is long, and the songs require your attention, especially when watching in a different language. That makes it very hard to endure if you have a short attention span or just didn't enter the cinema with maximum interest to begin with.
In any other case, in my opinion, this is the movie of the century.
