Yes, they can still make them like they used to!

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2017)

My wife and I heard good things about this film and went to see it this evening. We loved it. Emma Stone sings, dances and acts her part to perfection. Ryan Gosling is brilliant; and actually plays the piano in this film damn well, especially if you consider he reportedly didn't play at all and practiced 2 hours a day, 6 days a week to provide such a convincing performance. The wonderful music and score, the extensive use of primary colours, the great romantic story; all of them prove that they can make them like they used to. La La Land doesn't get too soppy but it does get under your skin in a nice feel good kind of way. We cannot recommend it high enough and hope it cleans up at the Oscars, especially for the lead performances, writing and best film. I'm looking forward to adding the Blu Ray release to my movie collection.
