one of my favorite

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2017)

I have never liked musical movies, and I do not bother watching them. There are just not my type.When La La Land first came out, I did not have any intention in watching it. However, when I saw the rating of this movie which is quite high for this kind of movies as well as the long list of nominations and awards, I was motivated to watch it. I was never disappointed. I know this is not the best musical or romance movie out there, but I need to be fair. They did a great job combining romance, comedy and music in a wonderful simple story. It does not have to be complicated to be good.
I would say that La La Land was great move because not only the romance/drama, music and comedy was good, but the story itself was simple enough to feel how realistic it is. I never felt once that during the movie that Rayan and Emma were acting. It felt like I am watching a real life drama except for the musical parts. There is no overacting or overreacting to given situations. The story simply felt real and that is why I think people love it.
