A wonderful film, of an aspiring, jazzy pianist's and aspiring actress' incidental relationship in the 'city of stars'

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2017)

La La Land is undoubtedly a brilliant film; I have not seen many musicals, and, admittedly, I bore a fairly...stereotypical, sceptical view of such-that is, until I watched this baby-I used to think that the musical was all about, you guessed it, the music. But, now...I think there's more to it than that-I liked the music; it was original, and it was definitely good, but it wasn't outstanding. It was special with the plot, which was also brilliant. The plot was that of two people-an aspiring, jazzy pianist and an aspiring actress-who, after a multitude of chance encounters, share a relationship-one that is almost as if they are exploiting each other to attempt to realise their ambitions by feeding off emotion, and who soon realise that, to realise their gluttonous ambitions, they may not be able to love each other as well.
