Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2018)

La La Land is an epic romance tempered with reality. It's about two people trying to make their dreams come true in Hollywood and how much their willing to sacrifice along the way. Along with great music and choreography, the story ranges from hilarious to heartbreaking. In spite of it's bittersweet undertones, there's a lot to love about La La Land. For those who were left bewildered by the ending, here's some clarification so you won't be left scratching your head. (The following is not a spoiler but references the last scene.) The final musical montage was how Seb imagined his life might have been if he'd given up on his dreams. Afterwards, the smile he shares with Mia indicates they're both satisfied with the choices they've made.
