LA LA Land a HOMERUN !!

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2016)

Went to see an early screening of LA LA Land knowing NOTHING about this film. It's grand opening of a traffic jammed Los Angeles freeway on a scorching hot day (we've all been there) that leads to a girl singing in her car, to then an amazing choreographed song and dance number with what felt like 100 singers and dancers all performing on this freeway (no CGI), just blew me away. There were MANY times throughout this film where I went, "How'd they do that?" and "That was amazing!"
No story spoilers, but Ryan Gosling's character of Seb (a musician) and Emma Stone's character of Mia (an actress) were perfect in their roles as starving and striving artists trying to make it in their professions. Regardless of the fact these two soul mates are perfect for each other, the real life struggles of juggling their love for one another and their career dreams hits home in a big way.
Major kudos to Whiplash director Damien Chazelle. He has hit another homerun, and had us singing along as we all rounded the bases.
