I don't even like musicals and I loved this

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2017)

For starters, I am not a big fan of the musical genre. I see the appeal, but usually when I watch a film with entire musical pieces, I just see it as cringe and dumb. There are some movies I really like that revolve around music that some may call a musical (I liked Whiplash, its not like the typical of school musical but some considered still) but usually I end up turning off the movie if it's too old school.
This movie though was super enjoyable. The main song is still stuck in my head. The dances and moments with the music didn't feel cringe or dumb at all, and in fact were actually really fun. They never felt out of place or random, it was usually a way to show off an entire scene or tell a story in a different way.
The actors, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were amazing. This is probably the best they acted in.
This isn't just a "romantic" movie, this is a movie about people trying to follow their dreams even when things are rough. This movie is a journey, one you must sit through for the 2 hours and just have a blast through.
One of my favorite movies of 2016, and definitely the best musical ever created.
