Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2017)

in this 2hr 8 Min's of heaven i gave it 10 out of 10 Mia, an aspiring actress, serves lattes to movie stars in between auditions and Sebastian, a jazz musician, scrapes by playing cocktail party gigs in dingy bars, but as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart
love is in a pair gosling and stone are on song in this charming and the dance scene at the bench in dawn is magical with gosling dancing escapist film you just want to stay and watch it for ever its so amazingly good its rolling in awards from the golden globs 7 to be exact and come academy awards night there should bag full of awards for the cast and writer director in this jazz musical with 3 alternative endings the happy ending the Hollywood ending the real ending and if you don't like musicals give la la land a opportunity for one off the Oscar sure fire hits for Oscar season with Ryan gosling sizzling and Emma stone both of them deserve something because they were electric this movie has great music to complement the story about stardom falling in love doomed love jazz dancing the waltz in the sky which is the highlight of the movie in the observatory dancing in the stars its a old Hollywood fell this is my second Ryan gosling film his films are all indie flick and this one might just give him his first 100 million film and with two stories at the start with the Hugh dance number with another day of sun with acrobatics jazz the dancers were lucky not to fall of the freeway so any way an aspiring actress cum waitress and a jazz pianist musician who wants to save the jazz soul from dying o want to the dreamy lovely city of stars with this song and piano number played in to big moment that reveal the heartache of the moment they bump into each other along the way and find each others tune and dance moves in key points of la where dreams can be dashed and hopes mad big the director who wrote whiplash does an amazing number here its a truly romantic movie she has a big audition where she sings only some parts of the film fools dare dream at center stage the director lets the hopes and exuberance and sadness take center stage this is carefree and stunning and it takes risks with with their singing not always perfect but this adds to the charm with their easy rapport and convincing roles makes you want them to root for with seb's you will see everything that flashes before his eyes the whole film has wow moments The movie shows the passage of time with screen cards stating the seasons even though Los Angeles is mostly warm and sunny year round When I first saw the trailer for La La Land my expectations were set high. The excellent cast, the music and an exciting new director/writer were enough to get me in the door. I'm always a bit hesitant when it comes to filmed musicals.. Will it be stagy, stilted and awkward? Not in this case. Damien Chazelle has made a wonderfully cinematic and loving ode to the dreamers and and artists of the world . It goes away from the predictable musical ending while wrapping up the movie in fellow swoop, opening the audiences' eyes to the entire meaning of the story, beyond the theme of follow your dreams. The idea that dreams are possible when you are willing to strive for them, but life isn't your own la la land. Everything does not end perfectly.
