Majestic, enchanting and delightful... and that's an understatement.

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2018)

La La Land starts off with an odd piece- imagine the busiest highway in your city suddenly turning into a sing-along, with everyone dancing outside of their cars. Shortly after that, it bursts into a classic, magical film laced with love, the freight of dreams, and the will to not give up on them.
I was a little bit skeptical at first not having been a huge fan of musicals in the past-- but I was very wrong. It's more of a movie then a musical. The musical, as I think about it, is just the cherry on top of an already brilliant script. La La Land is filled with those simultaneous conflicts between dreams and reality-- hence the singing, and the musical aspect of the film. This makes it for the dreamers and the realists alike.
Do you want to make your dreams come true, but you're dealing with some internal conflicts? Then this movie is for you. If you don't care about dreams, this movie is still for you.
