Resurrection of the movie musical

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2017)

Many audience members and critics have stated that the modern musical is dead. While this may have been true for certain films such as Mama Mia and Burlesque. This year Damien Chazelle proved this statement to be false.
This film is about Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling). Mia is an aspiring actress and Sebastian is a passionate jazz pianist, the film chronological their relationship as it evolves and changes.
Once again Damien Chazelle proves himself a more than capable director. This film is perfectly directed with brilliant long takes, perfect framing and pitch perfect performances from every single actor involved with the production.
There are one or two problems with the film however. For example the two leads are not perfect musicians, their singing voices and dancing abilities are not as perfect as other 1950's musicals that it homages. but these problems aren't enough to ruin the film for anybody.
This is by far one of the best films of the year and if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend that you do so, right now.
