Fantastic experience, a movie that defines artistic beauty

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2016)

There is nothing else that could be said about it apart from what I'm going to. It is a movie of true, profound beauty, one that touches your soul and leaves you in silence and awe. And all of this is because it deals with something we all face at some point - what is right to choose in life, when our dreams also require great compromises? I truly recommend everyone to see 'La La Land', especially in a movie theatre, to discover with their own eyes the great talent of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling and the chemistry they share on the big screen. Surely, without a pair such as this one, the experience would have been much different - it is a film that relies on their performances, which are executed flawlessly from the first scene in which they appear to the very end; all of their passions, desires and conflicts are full of life. You can see it in their eyes, dance moves and gestures with each other. The cinematography is fantastic and the musical score has been part of my playlist ever since watching the movie for the first time (I couldn't resist going more than once). The costume design is superb. I hope I didn't understate the beauty of this film. But in all seriousness, if you can, please go see 'La La Land'. It is a work of art.
