Few movies move me, this one did so and so much more

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2017)

I don't normally subscribe to musicals but I was amazed by the opening number, and the subsequent 120 minutes which followed. Some would argue that the realistic aspects of the film clash with the musical numbers but they offer a contrast between the dreamlike illusion of movies and the every day facade of life. Damien Chazelle has emerged as a director to watch out for, his previous film "Whiplash" was in my opinion the best film of 2014, and Chazelle has done it once more for 2016. Both films feature endings that are as thrilling as they are emotionally satisfying.
