Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2017)

If you haven't seen it yet or the hype hadn't convinced you  just believe me now when I say - You need to go to the cinema ASAP. Just one warning though; You won't be able to get the music out of your head. IMDb sums up the movie in one sentence, but there is so much more to it, although I have to say " A jazz pianist falls for an aspiring actress in Los Angeles. " is the only way to describe the plot without giving away any of the important scenes. So let's start, shall we? The movie begins with the most cliché musical scene I've encountered in a long time, but it sets the mood for what's to come being everything else but cliché. Sure, here we have a case of a (kinda) corny love story, but it is full of surprise, fraught with intelligent conversations and witty comebacks and most importantly, has an open end, to open up a whole new world for your imagination. Our protagonists are Mia and Sebastian played by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, the best movie couple they could have found for these characters. The seem so harmonious together, it's sad at the end of the movie you have to discover, this isn't real life. Also the music, oh have I mentioned the music? I've never been a fan of Jazz in fact, I'd thought I didn't like it very much. Turns out I've just hadn't listened to the right stuff. Another thing that convinced me is that the soundtrack doesn't only contain jazz, but also beautiful piano tracks. Sure one might argue, they aren't the type for musicals, but this one seems to be different in so many ways. The whole arrangement of different styles within the movie makes it drop-dead gorgeous to watch, even if you don't like the story. If you haven't figured it by now, it's a 10/10 for me.
