Just fantastic.

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2017)

This is the film responsible for making me interested in the musical genre.Its an excellent portrayal of how two people bond over their dreams and their struggles. This has a shot at winning Best Picture.The musical numbers were toe-tapping,especially the opening track. The screenplay and direction by Chazelle is fantastic. They did the cinematography very well. It has a cheerful tone,one which will make you smile. It is a very memorable experience.Ryan Gosling is charming as ever in his role as Sebastian Wilder,a passionate jazz pianist. Emma Stone is now a major Oscars contender,her performance as Mia Dolan is heartbreaking throughout. JK Simmons was great as Bill. There wasn't,t a lot of focus on the supporting characters,but there didn't need to be either. LA was a great city to set the movie in,I can't really think of any other location which would be a better choice than this one. There was great choreography in the dance scenes. Chazelle smartly evades the happily-ever-after cliché,going for a bittersweet ending instead. It's a truly romantic film that is very hard to forget.I salute you Damien Chazelle.
