A modern masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2017)

I have always struggled with musicals, they always seemed like cheesy and unnatural to me. That was before today when i was presented to this masterpiece of a film.
From the very start when the iconic cinemascope logo pops up you know that the movie will be an ode to the art of cinema. The cinematography is astonishing and reminds me of Hitchcock and the golden days of Hollywood.
The soundtrack by Justin Hurwitz is extremely well done and it fits the setting and the characters in a natural way with the musical scenes being natural and thoughtful.
Ryan Gosling's acting is close to perfect and his style of visual comedy is fitting the movie and Emma Stone can actually sing.
This movie convinced me that Hollywood is more than box office.
