Not the best!

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2017)

Emma Stone is Mia and Ryan Gosling is Sebastian in the musical drama named 'La La Land'.The movie introduces you a musical world of colors,songs and dance, cheering you with two beautiful characters - Mia and Serb.They have a story together against the backdrop of great music and brilliant cinematography. But when Damien(Damien Chazelle,director/writer) succeeds in introducing us to this world, he doesn't let us stay there long.
Mia is waiting to be found as famous actress.She attends auditions and work in a coffee shop for living.Serb is a Jazz hermit.He wants to revive the Jazz music culture.Mia and Serb run into each other multiples time and soon they realize that there is something about them.They set off their romantic journey and what happen between them takes us till the end of the movie.
The director could have done it a lot better than this. It is disappointing to see a movie with all fine ingredients in it but not blended enough to create that magic.An overly stress in creating this magical musical world has done little justice to the real story of the movie.But, I would not hold back appreciate Damien Chazelle for his attempt.
Justin Hurwitz has done a great job as music director. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are great picks for their characters.They complemented each other well.
if i am asked to pick outstanding category of this movie, that would be cinematography,art and dance.
