A timeless masterpiece. Honestly, truly.

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2017)

My head hurts. I haven't had this great of a cinema experience since Whiplash. Not only is it a love letter to old Hollywood films. It's a love letter to achieving your dreams. It's a love letter to LA. It's a f**k you letter to the industry in LA. Honestly, it's the definition of great filmmaking. It's the reason I go to the cinema. Lol, it could literally win 14 Oscars and I wouldn't even mind.
Ugh, the way it switches between modern style of musical to the Singing in the Rain vibe, it shook me. I was blown away by the cinematography, production design and especially the editing. After seeing Whiplash (and wow can we talk about all the Whiplash references Chazelle put in there?!) I knew the editing would be superb, but this was just.. they even made me like the fade effect which is usually a big no no for me. Not only is it a tremendous script, but the way the lines were delivered, it's like they're already classics the first time you hear them. Even though the film was already greatness, the ending is what really defines it. An iconic, timeless masterpiece. Just like Whiplash's ending.
Damien Chazelle truly is a god I don't deserve and I cannot believe I'm saying this out loud but La La Land was almost as good as the legendary Whiplash. Go see it. Don't listen to the fools giving it a 1/10. La La Land is sitting on 14 Oscar nominations and 7 Globes for a reason. If you don't like it, go argue it with your mama.
