For Those That Fear Movie Musicals, Just Go!

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2016)

I will keep this short, but this film is an utter delight. Glorious to look at, and an absolute valentine to Los Angeles, romance, and jazz. I promise you will be smiling throughout, marveling at its nod to musicals of the past but just how contemporary it feels. The chemistry between Stone and Gosling rings so true and heartbreaking. Both give it their all most especially Stone whose gorgeous eyes and natural presence is a marvel of screen presence. I heartily recommend this one of if not the Best Film of 2016.
It is an absolutely wonderful 2 hours at the movies for every age leaving the viewer exiting the theater on a cloud of optimism and joy.
