Gives you nostalgia of all the great 50's musicals you've never seen

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2017)

Damien Chazelles last movie "Whiplash" was my favorite movie of 2014, so I was really looking forward to what he would bring to the table this time around especially since it is such a different feel and genre than Whiplash.
La La Land blew me away. It took me on a journey like very few films have ever done. From the time the opening starts to when the credits rolled, I had a smile on my face. It one was of the best experiences I've had in the theaters in my entire life, and musicals are my LEAST favorite genre of movies. After seeing this movie a week ago, I still can't get the music out of my head.
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are brilliant in this film. Their chemistry is top notch and they play off each other incredibly. Oscar buzz for these two is well deserved. As a matter of fact, Oscar buzz on just about every single part of this movie is well deserved. Acting, cinematography, costume design, THE SCORE, everything is top notch. Even my dad (who absolutely hates musicals) after the film said "I could not keep a smile off my face".
The film is incredible, if you haven't seen it please go out and do so. This is by far (in my opinion) the best movie of the year and deserves all the hype it's getting. 10/10
