Man, I loved this movie. I'd say the best of 2016.

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2017)

I saw this for my 15th birthday, and it's great, from the opening Cinemascope card to the very last frame. Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) is a man who wants to start a jazz club to enliven the genre, and Mia (the always talented Emma Stone) is an aspiring actress who is also a waitress. Naturally, these two meet, and the film follows them and their ups and downs. I hate giving away spoilers, so I won't.
The soundtrack to this film is very catchy, the opening scene alone is a musical number in a traffic jam, and I reckon if your kid is mature enough to understand the film, there is very little inappropriate content (but the PG-13 rating in the US is because Ryan Gosling says an F word once, and there's a little bit of bad language), and the chemistry between Ryan and Emma just feels very natural. The film is a hybrid of a musical and a serious romantic drama, and the singing from these actors is pretty good, the dancing more so, but when it needs to be emotional, it is. When it needs to be funny, it is. There is just a magical quality to this that I can't describe.
If there's one thing I can nitpick, it's that the film can sometimes be a little slow. But that's nitpicking. Seriously, see this when you can, you will not regret it.
