A beautiful masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2017)

This is one of the best movies I have come across in a long time. In fact arguably one of the best movies I have ever seen. This is a beautiful film with great performances by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. They are both extremely likable in this film and their chemistry is great. The music is extraordinary and dare I say it one of the best film scores ever. Damien Chazelle is truly a poetic genius and I believe on track to be one of the greatest film directors ever (I also love his 2014 film Whiplash). In regards to the 14 Academy Award nominations I see why many think that's too many nominations but when you look into detail at what they were nominated for it does make sense because this film, at least in my opinion, is very well put together. The sound nominations they received, for example, were deserved (granted I never thought they would win them anyway) because they do have to blend a lot of sounds together with the singing and dancing, and that can actually be very tricky especially with the bigger numbers. The plot is simple but the way it's told is very unique and enjoyable. All around an amazing film in every aspect.
