A Hollywood fairy tale

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2017)

Who didn't once had the dream of becoming a movie star or a famous musician, even if you only got the tree part in your school play or can't even play triangle, you have already at least thought about what your life would be like if you were famous? I bet you did. This movie's about this universal dream, played by two individuals who have enough talent and guts to persuade it, and they happen to follow in love with each other. The rest is art, the movie itself is a masterpiece, the colors, the tunes, the choreography, it's like watching a movie in Technicolor just amazing. It reminded a lot of the Wizard of Oz. The final scene, I think will be forever stuck in my mind as one of the best endings I have ever seen. Why did I give it a 9? Well, their connection isn't perfect... Don't get me wrong, both Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are great actors but something is missing. Lacks chemistry, both play their parts masterfully nevertheless they don't get well together, they just seem a very unlikely couple. I would certainly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys musicals, cinema, dreams and everything in between.
