One of the best movies I've ever seen

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2017)

I came into this movie knowing nothing, save the fact that it was a musical. What I didn't know was that the movie was so much more. It told the story of the two main characters: Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), and Mia (Emma Stone).
The director took two actors who didn't sing or dance, and made them sing and dance, and they were fantastic. The story was incredible and unpredictable. I never knew what was going to happen. The director understands that film is show, not tell, and he did it so well. The movie was the perfect length. The scenes flowed. The music fit in and enhanced the story. The opening scene set the feeling of the movie so well.
For the most part, the issues that I had didn't take away from the movie, save one major problem that, for me, keeps it from being a 10. The sound quality is quite low, especially for a musical. It doesn't ever get to the point that you can't understand what anyone is saying, but I do feel that the sound quality held back the fantastically written and performed musical numbers.
