A love letter to Los Angeles

Rating: 8/10 (13 June 2018)

These movie has been reviewed from a dozen angles, but I want to highlight the Los Angeles aspect.
New York has had a number of movies made about it that have the city as a central character; but while LA, of course, has had many movies set in it, few of those are love letters, movies that revel in the appearance of the city and want to display it to best effect.
Till now, my favorite example of the genre has been LA Story, but La La Land is an even more beautiful version of the same idea; an on-going attempt to highlight different parts of LA, and to show them all under the most gorgeous possible conditions. If you live in the city, it's a treat to try to figure out each location.
So that's my recommendation! If you want to see a movie that does LA proud, that shows how lovely the city can be, watch this. The only shame is that there so many additional locations that could have been added but weren't :-(
