La La Land
Finally, Hollywood has made a film that celebrates France's stuttering sailors.
Oops, apparently the land in the title actually references to tinsel town it self.
Mia (Emma Stone) is a budding actress whose hapless life is constantly intersecting with an aspiring jazz musician, Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), who would rather open his own club than play in his jazz-fusion band (John Legend).
A relationship eventfully forms between the entertainers and they each help the other attain their dream. However their success comes at the expensive of their unique bond.
A keenly choreographed homage to old Hollywood musicals set in the modern era with its contemporary inconveniences, this song and dance routine may have a familiar narrative but its reinterpretation is astute; albeit saccharine at times.
Career defining performers from both leads and a decent array of melodies further enhance this charmer.
Incidentally, insurance doesn't cover injuries obtained dancing in the streets.
