It is pure Art

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2016)

To be frank you wouldn't waste your money. I saw folks in Michigan standing and clapping at the end. It's a marvel. I didn't give 10/10 because some of the dance and emotional scenes lacked depth from Ryan Gosling, who somehow covered it in the end by natural pain that he carries in his presence. Emma Stone on the contrary carried the tempo throughout the film; she just proved once again that how brilliant she is in acting and surprisingly singing. She's all in for an Oscar this year.
Finally I think movie tried to encompass the entire story of one's regular youthful life - which is only the life that seems to matter now a days - I however wished that it may have covered short life span with probably more intensity. In that regard I revered the movie "Before Sunrise" that magnificently captured charisma and magic within a night. Finally, in my understanding Indian cinema, especially Bollywood has some incredible movies that captured musicals in an exceptional way. Somehow, the showmanship in that regard fallen a bit short. Still, it's magical - much better than the artificially created poetry of Birdman or superficial picturesque of Revenant.
