Loved it

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2017)

At first I thought: Oh my, what if I don't like this movie?. I'm not that into musicals and the begging welcomes you with a song, but as the movie develops I could get comfortable with it. I loved the shots taken while dancing and singing most of the time, but maybe there are some flaws such as the scene of Mia's audition where she seems like floating in the black background making it look funny. I also loved the direction in which they choose to represent life how it is, it is not a happy ending story although we can get a glance at the alternative ending where Mia and Sebastian live together.
The work between Emma and Ryan is wonderful, they've work before reason that assures that the connection feels real for the audience despite their first approaches are hostile in the movie, they develop very well their characters relationship. And all their work for dance, piano and singing scenes were worth it.
It is very sad to see reviews with an 1/10 score, this movie doesn't deserve such a poor score. It has an amazing soundtrack, yes i would love more songs but it is not that relevant. There are not many movies such as this one nowadays, people prefer watching two hours of action spectacle without experiencing any kind of feeling.
I do not say you need to love it but it is a must-watch.
