It is not flawless, but it looks and sounds great. Kudos to Damien Chazelle for taking a moribund genre (the Hollywood musical), updating it for the 2010s, and giving it new life. Gosling and Stone, who are great together, play a couple of struggling artists (he, a disgruntled jazz musician, and she, an actress) who meet and fall in love. Parts of Los Angeles become key features in the movie and serve as wonderful backdrops for musical numbers. The ending for me is a little unsatisfying, and it left me scratching my head over what really happened between them, which isn't the best way to end a romantic musical - but this is still a lovely ride, and one with no peers that I know of.… Expand

It includes impeccably choreographed dancing, great songs and an excellent score, along with excellent performances from Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Chazelle's direction is very assured and the movie has excellent cinematography. It's visuals and excellent musical numbers allude to classic musicals with an upbeat, and dream-like tone. The movie can be interpreted in several ways, but for a less discerning viewer the subtle message of being willing to let go with each other to follow your dreams could be missed, if so i recommend a second viewing. Both Mia and Sebastian achieve their dreams but the movie shows a beautiful and heartbreaking montage of what could have been if their relationship was perfect. But the whimsical tone is contrasted with raw emotion and shows the reality of going to L.A. to achieve your dreams. La La Land was the best movie of 2016 and must be seen. I watched La La Land recently, my expectations weren't that high, I was expecting a good movie, but not a masterpiece on the level of this film. La La Land is an instant classic.… Expand

I recently watched a movie called "La La Land: California Dreams" again. For the first time, I saw this movie in the cinema last year when we went to see it with classmates. The genre of the film is a musical romantic, comedy and drama film, and the film was released on August 31, 2016. The film employ and location is in California. In the same year, the film also nominated for the Oscars.
Actress Mia tries to play a famous play where she wants to take part. She will work in the breakfast cafe otherwise there is a waitress. Because she has a sad mood the same evening, then she will have a restaurant in the evening and a muscian Sebastian, whom she will soon fall in love, will play the piano. The same night, Sebastian was fired from work, as the restaurant manager wanted to put his restaurant around for a band to listen to people. Sebastian goes to work on one of the record labels, and Mia begins to create her own play. The film employ is very fast-moving. At the end of the film, they admit to each other that while they care about each other, they will not be able to live together in the future.
It seemed to me that the film is light-hearted and there were different twists and turns in the film. There were a lot of different details and effects in the film that changed the film´s environment. This film had a big-budget, but it is a world-famous piece of musical.
My opinion about the film is very good, because people dance and sing a lot, and this make the movie a great one. I recommend this movie to people: first, who like musicals and secondly, dream far away from the world.… Expand

The story is a somewhatHaving waited a year since its original release before I finally saw it meant that I could watch it without the typical Oscars hype that surrounded it. And frankly, I just don't get what the hype was all about.

The story is a somewhat muddled tale of a struggling actress and a jazz musician who fall in love, though they struggle to keep things together as they chase their dreams. Now, a plain story like this can usually be dressed up in a musical with flashy singing and dancing - neither of which are present here. The songs are repetitive, as it turns out that listening to the exact same chord progression repeated for two hours can become a bit tedious; and Stone and Gosling's "singing-in-the-shower" warbles certainly didn't dazzle this viewer. In fact, their restrained musical performances are an embarassment to the resplendant costumes and sets that surround them.

What's worst, however, is that its potential did shine through. There are two or three dramatic scenes between Stone and Gosling that are so well written and brilliantly acted, they genuinely show up the mediocrity of the rest. It's not a bad film, by any standards, just very painfully and shamefully average.

Finally, I watch enough Strictly Come Dancing to be irked by the poor shaping of Emma Stone's hands during her final musical number with Ryan Gosling. But that's being quite picky, isn't it?… Expand

I was considering a 6 but I give it a low 7, which may be a bit too generous. There was one song that stood out, the one Emma Stone sings at her audition, but the rest were just OK. The dancing was competent but very unexceptional. This is not Ginger Rodgers and Fred Astaire. The story is average, except that the latter portion skips over a number of years without explanation and tells us nothing of what happened in between. It was rather strange and seemed like a shortcut to end the movie in a way that appeared modern and cynical, as if the writers felt they had to do that since the rest of the movie was so old fashioned. I wish they written a better final act.… Expand

For a film so focused on music and theater, it can't manage to pull together any creative effort that breaks the mold. The great musical films have you walking out of the theater with a song in your head that you just can not get out of your mind: Singin' in the Rain, White Christmas, Moulin Rouge's Come What May. None of the songs in La La Land leave any kind of lasting impression. And though Stone and Gosling have good screen presence, it's hard to imagine that there weren't better dancers/singers on offer in LA's sprawling theater scene. Several of the dance scenes and songs seem limited by their talents, and the movie's core message about ambition and creativity would have been much more powerful if the film featured true no-names rather than a highly successful actor and actress.… Expand

Damien Chazelle gives his all into this sweet non substantial flick, and does not get much out of it, as the relationship is going into a direction we've seen before, and the music relies on repitition to convey emotions. Go home and watch "The Broadway Melody" or "West Side Story" instead of this fun but tiring musical epic.… Expand

I am not a big fan of modern musical films. So I was not expecting it to be a great or worst. The film opened with a song that I was not happy, because I did not like the verse or the music. And again to say, the modern timeline does not suit for the musical theme, unless it is a fantasy or an Indian film. The best part of the film was, those song fades away as the film progresses. But I kind of liked the drama/story part and the climax track with the quick flashback (kind of). Till that scene I was considering it an average film, but that one scene changed my stance. So, now I think it is a good film, but winning 6 Oscars, I don't know it deserved that.

Yes, the director is known for making music and musical film, but he has not made many. He's young and so his career. Yep, I loved 'Whiplash'. One of my all time favourite. If that film had won 10 Oscars, I would have not surprised at all. After that flick, the people were anticipating, to exceed that success in this film. As it was received, no doubt for those people it was a different flick, but not for me. Especially if you watch lots of Indian films. By the way the film characters were nice, and so the story, but not the songs.

Gosling and Stone were performed well. The chemistry between them was great. The narration was going decently until the end, which reminded me 'Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya' ending that I was not happy about, yet something different than usual. Sometimes I am okay with cliché than this kind of conclusion, just to bring a change in storytelling. Overall an enjoyable film, most people would love it. Some like me would say it is a decent flick, but there's always a few who would never favour it. Yet worth a watch.

As vezes assistimos a filmes antigos que nos trazem brilho no olhar e ao mesmo tempo nos perguntamos: "Por que não fazem mais filmes assim?" La La Land é sobre isso. Um sentimento saudosista que mescla o melhor da era de ouro de Hollywood,As vezes assistimos a filmes antigos que nos trazem brilho no olhar e ao mesmo tempo nos perguntamos: "Por que não fazem mais filmes assim?" La La Land é sobre isso. Um sentimento saudosista que mescla o melhor da era de ouro de Hollywood, mas sem pesar demais na nostalgia, tornando-o assim, uma espécie de retro-futurista. Mia e Sebastian são dois sonhadores vivendo em Los Angeles. De um lado Mia (Emma Stone) sonha em ser uma atriz famosa, porém em meio a tantos testes, ainda não encontrou seu papel. Já Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) é um jovem apaixonado por Jazz que sonha em ter seu próprio clube, porém sofre com a falta de popularidade do gênero musical. Quando o destino dos dois se cruzam, temos o nosso filme.
La La Land é, a cima de tudo, sobre sonhos. A força de vontade e a paixão que os personagens tem seja pelo Jazz ou pela atuação, inspira o telespectador. Damien Chazelle triunfa ao mesclar elementos do cinema clássico com regalias modernas. A inspiração é clara no longa, mas em nenhum momento o filme se torna nostálgico demais, ele anda com as próprias pernas e cria sua identidade própria. Stone e Gosling já provaram sua perfeita sintonia em filmes como 'Crazy Stupid Love' e 'Gangster Squad' e agora, em sua terceira colaboração, os dois brilham juntos. Emma atua com sutilidade, seus gestos, sua voz, a dança...Tudo contribui para a construção de uma personagem que é ao mesmo tempo doce e atrevida. Stone é o coração de La La Land, ainda mais quando está junta com Gosling, que por sua vez, também não fica para trás. Ryan da vida com mestria para Sebastian, um personagem apaixonado e ao mesmo tempo apaixonante. Em todas as suas cenas juntos, Emma e Ryan conquistam um pouco mais o coração da audiência, suas vozes juntos criam um contraste agridoce que é tão agradável aos ouvidos quanto suas danças tímidas são agradáveis aos olhos. Mesmo não sendo profissionais em dança e canto como Gene Kelly e Debbie Reynolds por exemplo, é visível o esforço dos dois e seus passos acanhados e vozes suaves são mais que suficiente para relevar este pequeno detalhe. Tecnicamente falando, La La Land é irretocável. Chazelle brinca com as cores no longa, sempre podemos observar a presença de uma luz neon refletindo no rosto de um dos protagonistas. O figurino é sempre com cores primas, cores estas que estão sempre presentes na palheta do filme, o figurino é um dos grandes méritos do filme, pois é moderno e ao mesmo tempo retro, assim como diversas coisas no longa. A fotografia também se destaca. As cores vivas do céu contribuem para cenas espetaculares. O compromisso de fazer um trabalho bem executado gera resultados aqui. A explosão de cores, seja no céu ou no figurino gera reação imediata da audiência e ainda é um deleite para os olhos de quem assiste. Como dito a cima, a direção de Damian Chazelle atinge seu ápice aqui. Sua direção é extremamente competente. Logo na cena inicial do longa, vemos uma cena de musical em um engarrafamento onde todos os jovens saem de seus devidos carros e começam a dançar. Toda a cena é filmada em plano sequência com takes abertos e aí temos uma noção da excelência do diretor. La La Land é uma doce carta de amor para a era de ouro de Hollywood. Suas músicas doces e animadas ficam grudadas em sua cabeça e a beleza vista aqui vai muito além dos aspectos técnicos. Simplesmente um filme para ser eternizado.… Expand

Honestly, it was just plain weird in the artsy-fartsy sort of way that critics find appealing but many normal moviegoers find off-putting. Compared to the classic musicals of Broadway's heyday, it could not even begin to hold a candle.

Hier träumen die Schauspielerin Mia und der Jazzpianist Sebastian gemeinsam vom ganz großen Durchbruch – bis die Realität das trällernde Traumpaar einholt. Eine große Geschichte erzählt Chazelle also eigentlich nicht, dafür ist La La Land eine inszenatorische Wucht: Die kalkuliert-künstlichen Bilder sind betörend wie ein Wes-Anderson-Film, die Sing- und Tanzeinlagen stilsichere Ginger-Rogers-und-Fred-Astaire-Zitate.

Creía que iba a quitar la película a la mitad de metraje, pero no. Me encontré con una buena película, una película simpática para pasar el domingo y al final me gustó. Un grandísimo homenaje al "Hollywood" clásico que, el que la vea lo entenderá.

En cuanto a lo bien escrita que está y la interpretación de sus personajes por parte de E. Stone y Gosling, hace que ni te enteres de las dos horas del filme y te interese la historia. El final es BRILLANTE y de verdad que me encantó porque no me esperaba esa dureza/amargura. Muy bueno.

En definitiva, es una buena película que me gustó, a pesar, que odio el género y por su final y algunas situaciones de los personajes, estuve contento de haberla visto. Mi gusto aparte, es un peliculón en todo. Un 8.… Expand

It was alright, there were some moments of joy/wonder in this homage to Hollywood golden era musical romantic comedy, but both the romance & comedy fell short. The "what if" montage was devastating. Better than bad, but in no way great.

Anyways, from the director who brought you Whiplash, (which right off the bat, basically explains how La La Land was such an amazing film), brings you a musical romance starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling as the two main protagonists of this film. And just a quick pointer, the chemistry between these two were terrific! Most scenes from La La Land, especially the epilogue, got me crying like a little A-Hole because of how beautifully this movie was directed! And how on earth could we forget about the soundtrack? Everything about La La Land was remarkable and I have not a single flaw.… Expand

For you to be really involved in a film you have to care about what happens. There are also a few moments where I lost the interest and got a little bored. It also had some stereotypes going on. I still give it an 8 for all the effort and the beauty in it, and the acting. I´d feel bad giving a film like this a lower rate. But it didn´t wow me, or move me.… Expand

Snipey and dark, with low chemistry. After suffering thru the beginning, I was a little enthused by the 'pool party' scene, which was finally light, both visually and in mood. But then, it retreated into its marginally directed dirge-y-ness. The wildly over-worked planetarium romance scene looked hokey in this age of great effects... and we are led to believe that two gorgeous adults living in LA are ruminating about a kiss in a way some grade-schoolers might? In fact, that makes me realize, if this film was made based on junior-high students, it may've made a lot more sense.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good Not Great... Overrated. This film is OK but really uneven in tone, writing and acting. It starts off fine but by the time the leads get into a really stupid fight when Mia questions whether Sebastian is following his dream but he seems to be doing fine. They break up, he talks her into one last audition, which, of course, is her giant break. Five years get jumped with no explanation or back story and then we get treated to two different endings. Neither of which is satisfying. Maybe it was supposed to be clever but I found it really annoying and it spoiled the parts that were OK. I would call it a Hollywood Musical Light. Doesn't compare to the best (West Side Story, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Singin' In The Rain, etc.)… Expand

1. The obnoxious and distracting camera work. They try and look clever with all these contentious shots. The issue is that ruins the pacing of each scene since it leaves no room for properly edited cuts.

2. The music, the singing and sound mixing are all atrocious. "Another Day of Sun" is possibly one of the single worst opening numbers I've witnessed. And I say witnessed, not heard, because you can't hear a damn thing. The music sounds like what you'd hear in an elevator. Competent but boring. The singing is the same, but none of the few decent singers this movie has can harmonise properly. It's hard to notice that problem though, when you can't hear them over the damn music. 3. Yeah... The "white guy trying to save Jazz" is problematic as hell. It's like how in RENT all the white people are being gentrified out of their neighbourhood by a black guy... Like, are you freaking kidding me? It doesn't bother me that much, but it's an issue.

Look, if you like this. Hey, that's great and.. No, I can't do this. Like, if you enjoyed this, I genuinely feel sorry you haven't been exposed to better musicals. I mean go look up Hairspray's opening on youtube. That's a song about Baltimore, yet it sounds more inviting than LA. Or go watch "Singing in the Rain". Sit down and listen to some of the musical numbers from Wicked or Hamilton or The Book of Mormon. Hell, if you're rich enough go see them while you still can.

There is a world of far, far, faaaaaaaar superior musicals out there for you to enjoy. La La Land is an insult to them all.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La La Land, not quite my tempo.

In general, I do not enjoy musicals, so I kept my expectations as low as possible before viewing this one.

I do not think I have ever been more bored in my life, and I have literally watched paint dry. I cared a little about Sebastian, because he was devoted in jazz, even in some weird way, but not at all about Mia, who wanted to become an actress but had not even watched "Rebel Without a Cause" and did not convince in any other way during the movie about her devotion in acting (e.g., saying something about her favorite scene or actress and how that made her feel, we just see her going through terrible auditions).

Someway along the movie we get our scheduled love-fight, meant to temporarily separate the couple, so that the plot can move on. The way the fight escalates is laughable. At this point I realized that the script might have been written by an AI and not a human being. But, anyway, Sebastian makes it up for her, and the couple is about to reunite, but they put their relationship in a pause in order for them to pursue their dreams. That is logical. It turns out that Mia meets someone else, marries him, and has a child. That is also logical and can happen in real life. What is not logical is the fact that they have not kept in touch during all those years and act all surprised when they meet by chance again after 5 years. Doesn't technology exist in this movie? Phone calls? E-mails? Airplanes? I would have fought nail and tooth to reunite with my loved one, and if failed, put some closure, within months, at most. This is so stupid!… Expand

Pero hay una cosa que no se puede negar, la musica de esta obra, llego para quedarse, siendo mis favoritas Another Day Of Sun, Someone In The Crowd y City of Stars, son totalmente memorables y hasta uno le da una buenas energías al momento de escucharlas. Y pues claro, que se puede esperar del mismo que dirigió Whiplash, que ahora va a estar a boca de muchos en esta nueva era de cine como lo esta siendo como Iñárritu o Guillermo del Toro que esta volviendo a sacar relevancia en estos tiempos.

That is, this multi-Oscar winner turned out to be a loser that let us down on every front.

For those who haven't seen it I won't spoil the story by saying that it appears to be an updated tribute to the old musical romantic comedies. Instead of placing the young boy-girl couple back in time, we see them cavorting on the crowded interstates of modern Los Angeles which feature countless Prius Hybrids rather than elegant RR Silver Clouds. The effect is mildly humorous but not romantic. The lack of musical talent in the two leads is neither funny nor romantic. We were reminded of the fact that long ago most entertainers could sing and dance decently if not wonderfully but today's stars are not that versatile. And it's pretty depressing watching the talent lumber across a screen that the old movie-makers would have killed to use for their productions. We live in a time of technical marvels. This movie made poor use of them.

Take the matter of color, for example. The look of the old Hollywood musicals was determined in part by the lack of subtlety of the color film available at the time. Knowing the limitations of the medium the old filmmakers used sets that made a kind of fantastic beauty. Everything looked perfect, though unreal. The control that filmmakers have over color today allows for just about any imaginable look. My question is who would choose to dress the characters as if they were in an old Hollywood fantasy and then photograph them against completely realistic backgrounds featuring brown palm trees, wilted flowers, and roads and buildings that remind us that our country's infrastructure is crumbling (one of the few points that people of all political stripes can agree on).

Finally, I'm forced to ask WHY the audience is supposed to care about our lead couple. There's lots of talent out there working its heart out to get some good, steady work. Why should we want this particular duo to make it. They don't seem especially brilliant. When the young lady isn't selected for a part by a rather rude producer, I found myself thinking "well, I guess he had something else in mind". I mean, her performance didn't immediately grab me. She didn't jump out at me. And that has happened on occasion hen a great actor does a bit part in a film and you find yourself saying, my god! Who WAS that?!

So all in all another mega hit about Hollywood that got great reviews from people who live in that world--I've noticed that film critics seem to give extra points to movies about making movies. I call it the Barton Fink effect.

Maybe I'm getting old and have seen too many movies. But frankly I don' think that's the problem with a La La production that just seems flat and ugly.… Expand

Damien Chazelle gained international acclaim and recognition from his masterful drama 'Whiplash', what were the chances that he could pull off similar success two times in the row? Well, if 'La La Land' is anything to go by, then I'd say he did the job. With just three films under his belt as of 2016, Chazelle is slowly becoming the next big thing this movie industry has seen. His passion for classic movies and musicals is evident as he references and pulls influence from films like 'Singin' in the Rain', 'The Umbrellas of Cherborg' and even 'Rebel Without a Cause', the latter of which is one of my favourite films so seeing the nod to it was something I was pleased about.

The chemistry between Gosling and Stone is strong to say the least, after two previous collaborations, their already-strong bond helped them become one of modern-day cinema's finest couples. The music is bouncy and toe-tapping catchy, the cinematography is utterly stunning with gorgeous colours and impressive long takes, and the locations sum up the American dream and the passion the characters hold for Los Angeles. 'La La Land' is by far one of the finest cinema experiences I have had in the past 5-10 years, and although this isn't a film I would typically enjoy (genre-wise), Chazelle has instead crafted one of my favourite films of this decade. A film I would recommend everyone see in the cinema to truly witness the CinemaScope magic.… Expand

The film presents a rather fresh screenplay by using and mixing classic elements of cinematography -and appealing, in the meanwhile, to the remembrance of musical jewels that are often forgotten. While it's true that the overall premise may be quite simple, it contains many elements of the daily life most of us can identify with: dreaming, loving, happiness, regretting, frustration, letting go, and so on. The acting on the other hand is flawlessly played by its protagonists, and thanks to a great character development it feels human and appealing.

I thinkLa La Land is pure cinematic beauty. Accompanied by Justin Hurwitz's beautiful music, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling bring Damien Chazelle's floating, dreamy masterpiece to life with careful, singing emotion. Why is La La Land so good? I think because it summarizes the crisis, the passion and joy, but also the sorrow and pain of an artist's life. Set in a magical, half-imagined LA, every movement and magical note is essential to the wholeness of this film, from the very first glimpse to the ending credits. Ryan Gosling's performance embodies the very crisis of an artist who loves music but is overlooked so badly. His half-bored, half-enthusiastic impressions make the movie very entertaining. Emma Stone is brilliant. Without her elaborately subtle and honest performance, the movie would lose part of it's magic. I believe she is one of the very best young actresses. La La Land challenges you emotionally, but leaves you much more richer in the soul. One of the best films I have ever seen.… Expand

Musical Theater buffs, children, and all parents and adults can enjoy this masterpiece, directed by Damien Chazelle. It tells the story of an actress named Mia, who is struggling with romance and finding a job. She finds a pianist named Sebastien who plays Piano, and is struggling with a steady gig and money. After Sebastien (Ryan Gosling) ignores her in the restaurant he was playing in, they start to run in to each other a lot more. They start to realize that they could be together, and they get engaged. Sebastien teaches her about jazz, and they both help each other to become successful, until of course, the tragedy, which you have to see the movie for. I really like how this movie spends a lot of time in the "musical theater" phase, such as the opening scene where they used one shot to film a super- spectacular dancing scene. There are also stunning visuals that includes the dancing, such as the part where they fly into space and dance. The singing, music, and piano playing is beautiful, especially the original songs such as "City of Stars" written by Justin Hurwitz. I also really admire the story, it is very sweet and age appropriate for everyone. There are some very sad parts in the movie, but most of it leaves you to think, "what would have happened next?" You may be wondering if I love it so much, why isn't it an 10? Well, as a film critic, I would say that it changes tones very quickly, like from sad to intense, or happy to chaotic. But I do highly recommend this film to everyone! It is one of the best movies of the year, and deserved the Oscars.… Expand

Only music and dancing. Script missing. I don't like jazz, but i will talk to a random guy that was playing jazz on piano. Not predictable ending, just random scenes.

All that unnecessary singing and dancing and saccharine sweetness. No thank you. But La La Land legitimately blew my mind out the back of my skull. It takes you up to peaks of dizzy joy but also plunges you down into the abyss of heartbreak. It's an emotional rollercoaster ride of a film and all that unnecessary singing and dancing... I loved every second of it! La La Land is an absolute masterpiece and easily one of the best movies I've seen for a very long time. Plus the soundtrack is incredible!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I sat next to an 87 year old man. After the first scene, he clapped and said "wow!"
During the audition scene he started crying like a baby and as soon as it ended he took off his round glasses and wiped off the tears with his sleeve.
As soon as the movie ended, he clapped along with everyone else and he shouted "Bravo! Bravo! BRAVO!!!"
He then said,"I haven't seen anything like that in a very long time. The music, the girl, everything!"

The first thing I need to say is that everything I write will be an understatement. This movie is better than anything I could possiblely put into words.
The second thing I need to say is that you need to watch this movie.

Justin Hurwitz is a musical genius. And this film is a musical masterpiece. Someone said they were getting tired of Chazelle's boner for jazz. Well, if every movie Chazelle does is as powerful and driven as this and Whiplash, I will never get tired of his massive boner for jazz.
Hurwitz sets the tone using music in a way I have not seen since Lord of the Rings. He develops themes subtly when you least expect them and then blasts them into your face to trigger a serious emotional response. The first two songs, Another Day of Sun and Someone in the Crowd, meld together throughout the rest of the movie in a way that they become almost indistinguishable. Audition's theme is subtly hinted at when Mia is talking about her childhood, so you already heard the kernel of it when she starts singing it. Finally, the epilogue blends together every piece of music masterfully and all the themes, all the emotions come gushing out. The fact that Chazelle and Hurwitz came up with the idea for the movie together is what allows most of this to happen. The bond between what you are seeing and what you are hearing is so intrinsic that it becomes overpowering.

Best soundtrack of the decade by far.… Expand

Sure good, if you like musicals. But like most films now about 30 minutes too long. Too many numbers with just Gosling & Stone -- why not get more background dancers involved especially with the backdrop of jazz clubs? Pool scenes were lostSure good, if you like musicals. But like most films now about 30 minutes too long. Too many numbers with just Gosling & Stone -- why not get more background dancers involved especially with the backdrop of jazz clubs? Pool scenes were lost opportunity to do a brief Esther Williams tribute. Neither star has great vocal chops, which is OK, as it makes their characters down to earth -- still, would have enjoyed better skills - kind of thin singing & I got bored with the repetition of the theme song. Also would have been fun to have more fully developed secondary characters -- i.e. Gosling's sister shows up for 30 seconds as a foil to his messed up life but then she just disappears. Stone has all these roommates who could have provided a counterpoint to her experience but who just serve as props. A nice fantasy romance & yes it's nice to see a musical but really not quite up to all these raves -- still, miles above Mama Mia.… Expand

La La Land is a Hollywood version of a Bollywood movie.
Too much singing, too much dancing, the plot is common, nothing special except the jazz music.

There are a lot of complaints about this film, I assume mostly due to the never ending positive buzz it’s gotten. There was even an SNL skit about how widely (and overly) loved it is. But I can’t help it. I love Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, I love a musical, and I love the classic style. You can tell me all day long about how Stone is breathy, Gosling looks at his feet when he dances, I don’t care. I liked the way it made me feel, and I left humming under my breath and dancing up the stairs. I went into the theater for my first viewing in the throes of an existential crisis (which come around every other week). I was immediately invested in the characters and cried for a majority of the second half. A few weeks later, I went in for another show time because I was worried I wasn’t in a stable mental state the first time around. I cried (slightly) less in my second showing, but it still felt as connected. Flat out it was a beautifully shot, exciting, catchy frolic through every young dreamer’s fantasy in LA. 9.8/10… Expand

Related media: There are no related media to this film.

What's it like?: It starts with an upbeat song about the aspirations of those who wish to succeed in LA that really wakes you up and make you hunger for more. It then elaborates on what an actor and a musician would need to do to succeed in LA, as they fall in love with each other and you fall in love with them. It’s a musical, but one that you can tolerate as it doesn’t unnecessarily go into a song at every opportunity.
>
Pros:
>
1. The opening upbeat song, Another Day of Sun, wakes you and prepares you to like the rest of the film.
>
2. The two leads are very charming and you’d love them to make it in the end.
>
3. All of the other songs are as good as the opener.
>
4. This is a musical that you can tolerate as the actors do not unnecessarily break into song at every opportunity.

5. The melancholic ending. The best love stories have melancholic endings.

Cons: The ending? Ha ha… No, that’s not a con. Think Casablanca.

Eu finalmente assisti o filme sem o hype todo. Eu anulei todas as críticas que eu li e só assisti o filme. O filme não é só sobre a Mia que deseja ser atriz e o Sebastian que quer abrir um bar de jazz. Vendo o filme com atenção eu percebi que é mais do que isso. Quantas vezes você não esteve em uma relação e acabou se sentindo frustrado pela pessoa conseguir realizar um sonho e você continuar ali parado? Quantas vezes a vida já te deu um não e você se viu sem forçar para continuar e acreditar no seu sonho? O sonho de Mia era ser uma atriz sim, um clássico clichê de holiwood. Mas não tem que ser isso não. Qualquer um que tem um sonho sabe como é levar um soco na cara da vida. Eu vi muitas pessoas reclamando do final também, mas e dai? Sinceramente. Vamos parar de ficar colocando defeitos onde não existem. Algumas pessoas talvez estivessem esperando um conto de fadas não sei e aí ao chegar no final do filme leva esse tapa na cara. Eu não tenho vergonha de dizer que eu me emocionei com o filme, principalmente com o final. Eu não pensei que poderia me tocar tanto. É tão simples e ao mesmo tempo tão intenso que agora eu entendo porque tantas pessoas amaram e odiaram esse filme. Se você assiste La La Land no hype de ser mais um romance clichê é nítido que você vai odiar esse filme. Emma Stone que eu cheguei a criticar eu percebi que nos 45 do segundo tempo ela conseguiu impressionar demais e fez uma atuação MARAVILHOSA. Os filmes tem alguns defeitos sim, mas acho que o que mais importou pra mim foi a mensagem que ele quis passar. Acho que daqui uns anos as pessoas vão perceber que, apesar dos clichês, o filme passa uma mensagem linda… Expand

This is one of the two musicals I liked to date: the other one is "Mamma Mia". Both are great musicals but they are completely different. Personally, I liked Mamma Mia more than La La Land. I don't know why Mamma Mia's Metascore is just 51 and La La Land's is 93. This film is maybe a "little" overrated. I just saw it yesterday. Mamma Mia's soundtrack was made with songs of Abba, songs everybody knows. When they sang in that movie, it all seems normal. But in this movie, you can realize while watching that it's not real, not normal. I love the concept, the story. But I hated the final. It is different from the one I thought before. But, you know, a good movie is determinated by a good final. Good, but boring sometimes. I'm happy it won 6 Oscars, but I don't think it deserved 14 Nominations. Just a normal movie, I cannot wait to see it again. Maybe I'll like it more than the first time I saw it.… Expand
