Beautiful musical and a declaration of love for the “MOVIE” itself. Absolutely deserved 6 Oscars, in my opinion it should have won Best Picture too, well, the envelope was swapped...AWESOME, BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO! A MUST SEE!

Damien Chazelle's direction is masterful, evoking memories of the past while maintaining a modern feel. The lead actors, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, have undeniable chemistry, and their performances are both effortless and captivating. The film is a feast for the eyes, with Chazelle's use of color and camera movement adding to the overall beauty of the film. The story is engaging and serves as a more captivating watch than the routines. Despite some simplistic elements, the film is a triumph, celebrating all that was great before and wrapping it up in a modern-day bow. Magnificent.

La La Land is a movie that owes its relative success not to the technical quality of the film; editing, script, director, etc.; but instead people's longing for nostalgia, manipulating the audience emotionally, keeping a 'light of hope' aliveLa La Land is a movie that owes its relative success not to the technical quality of the film; editing, script, director, etc.; but instead people's longing for nostalgia, manipulating the audience emotionally, keeping a 'light of hope' alive until the last minute, and of course the leading actors who are loved by both opposite genders.

The fact that it left tears and smiles on the audience's face at the end explains why he is so identified with the audience.

However, if there is one thing to remember, it is the difference between successful and quality film. In addition, success is subjective, quality (technical) objective data; It would be more rational to compare from this point of view.

Whether la la land is a "dreamland" as depicted in the movie, or just a fake paradise, the decision is yours. I only respect the ones which touches my brain, not necessarily or only my heart.

I'm not huge on the genre of romance, nor am I a fan of musicals, but La La Land sold it to me. It just tears your heart out! It's charming, lovely, smart, and heart-warming. Emma Stone shined like a diamond in this film, combining the best of her acting, gorgeous looks, and charming character. I could not have picked a better couple for this film than Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Their performance together took my heart to far-away galaxies a hundred times over, and still left me hungry for more! The sheer power of a Steinway and Sons Piano and the soothing, nostalgic sounds it makes, takes this film's power of emotion to a whole other level. The filming was excellent combined with the dancing, music, and setting of each scene. All of it combined made for a mind-blowing romance which deserves all the praise it has received from the hungry critics. Two thumbs way up. Expand

God this movie makes every virgin truly feel like one. The movie wants to teach you how to love love and yet you start to resent it. The film is truly a technical perfection. Camera, light, colour, sound and effects. The soundtrack (original) is the best of any movie I’ve ever watched. From the theme song to the obscure background tracks. The music is a turn on fr fr. The characters themselves are anything but bland. The audience is invested in their story. Mia and Seb are only that great because of the on-screen chemistry between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Love, hate, laughter, sadness carry the movie through the challenging streets of Los Angeles. I love that the movie gave an alternate ending for the basic **** watching it and it being heartwarming for them. But, the true ending which is so synonymous to real life is also shown for us filmbros and cinephiles. Damien Chazelle is a master of his craft. So if you’re in the mood for love tonight, watch it.

Being that this is also a Musical, its songs are also, unfortunately, not very memorable and have mediocre choreography.

It feels like a movie with the potential to be very iconic! There are some segments that don’t stick as well as I’d like, but I was going through a cruddy period in my life and honestly couldn't complain too much. I love that the film subverts an expectation of a happily ever after, but goes for a more realistic ending for our beloved characters rather than the fantastical ending so many older movies were famous and loved for. I’d say this is average to above average (an 8). A very good slice of life rom com. Expand

Finally, it's got some beautiful cinematography which looks amazing and it's got some great musical scenes throughout. The only negatives which I had with this movie would be some of the dialogue an hour in or so with Sebastian and Mia, It honestly felt a bit forced to me and the ending wasn't what I was expecting which was a bit sad. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie more than I expected to, its honestly worth the watch.

Also, I forgot to mention that scene with J.K Simmons is honestly really good, I didn't even know he was in this movie at all but it's always good to see him having a role in these new movies.

Vibrant colors, beautiful songs, excellent acting, fantastic cinematography, and top-notch acting are aplenty in this film. The first time I viewed La La Land it took my breath away, and I don't mean that metaphorically, I literally did not think to breath for at least 10 seconds. I felt that the world had paused, it hit me hard with the brilliant ending sequence. I've since seen La La Land 3 more times and each time it still affects me emotionally, Damien Chazelle has done it again. I had no idea he directed this and Whiplash when I had first seen this, but I was a huge fan of Whiplash as another movie that affected me emotionally. La La Land is a masterpiece and has solidified itself as my favorite movie of all-time. It is beautiful in every capacity, vibrant and boisterous as much as it is melancholy. Thank you Damien for creating this movie. Expand

La La Land. My favorite and adored movie! The talented Damien Chazelle made a really beautiful picture of love, the desire for a dream and showed that sometimes you have to sacrifice the first to get the second.

Gosling and Stone shines and as a result Chazelle marks his name on the wall.

La La Land

Chazelle is on a strike. With successive jaw dropping projects coming out, his passion grows more intense and the cinema much larger. Coloring the 70mm screen with rich mesmeric visuals, the director, Damien Chazelle is boasting his love with proper understanding of the Hollywood culture that he so blindingly adores. Not an inch goes by in the film that looks pretentious, working over a year on editing along with Tom Cross, Chazelle wishes you to understand the "if's" and "but's" of this show business in one note. And boy what a note it is. I am sorry but that hooked theme of Justin Hurwitz, whispered in every line of the film always sobers me up.

All hail the production team for carving out this desert as fresh as it looks, from clothes to designing and from locations to set pieces, the view gets better and better and so does the performance. And daunting as this task may sound, but Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling might be the new Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. But unlike them they aren't quirky but are goofy about the relationship and flirty about their first love. If Stone going over the montages of failed auditions is a threat, then Gosling on piano is her equal competitor.

I have always preferred them alone, one is happy being stubborn and intuitive- something that she later on adapts from him- and other being mature and hard on herself. Together, they would fall apart, they are meant to be, no matter how in sync are they while dancing and how pitch perfect are they while singing, their rhythm is too vacuumed by the outer world to float in one room, maybe they should have just stayed in that cinema hall, but despite of claiming it to be a La La Land, this is the reality, they had to get out.

The 4-season metaphor was remarkably meaningful looking back at the movie. The idea that life happens in seasons is powerful, and that sometimes great things come to an end. The cute couple doesn't always end up together.
The music was the best I've ever heard. As I watched the opening scene play before me, I was inspired by their choreography and musical complexity. I was instantly entranced in the mood of the movie. La La Land takes a well-paced approach to the idea of Hollywood and shows the biting realism of life.
Overall, the movie mixes musical and instrumental prowess with skilled performances from Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling to make a film that felt more real than any I've watched before.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the talented director of Whiplash, comes another musical masterpiece: La La Land. This movie is about the romance of aspiring actress Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), they both have great chemistry and they're one of the best movie couples in recent cinema, director Damien Chazelle had the talent to write and develop their relationship really well. As this is a musical, it obviously has many musical numbers throughout the movie and they're all fantastic and serve a purpose to the plot.

The Good:
-The performances are amazing.
-The script, dialogue and character development are great. The chemistry between the main characters is just wonderful.
-The score and music is memorable and beautiful.
-The ending scene is one of the best ending scenes I've seen in a long time and the message it tries to give is sad but true: That sometimes couples need to separate and both go in different ways to accomplish their dreams. It's a lighthearted, depressing yet satisfying ending and it's more tearjerking with the beautiful music, the last shot of the movie is Mia and Seb smiling to each other is an amazing ending, pretty refreshing to see a couple actually not ending together, it makes the ending unpredictable.
-Obviously the rest of the movie is as amazing as that last scene. The musical numbers are memorable, catchy and well choreographed.

The Bad:
-I think the only "bad" or not so good thing is Ryan Gosling's acting as Sebastian. He did a good job but he didn't really shine as much as other actors, specially his in-movie couple Mia (Emma Stone).

La La Land is a masterpiece of a movie, I could watch it over and over and nothing of it will ever get old at least for me.

They stopped dating because she was going to take a job away for a couple months? It wasn't like she was going there permanently. They have phones. And planes. He didn't have to give up his job. He could go visit her off and on until the film was done. Instead they just throw in the towel and she ends up with someone else and you get the "might have been sequence." Just give us the happy ending. The bittersweet one was just the director trying to get Oscar bait. It didn't make the movie better. Also in no way did she deserve an Oscar for her performance. It was good, but nothing different than any of her other movies. If anything Ryan was the standout role. Expand

Film musicals have a long and venerable history in Hollywood, although we see less of them now in this age of skepticism when viewers are slightly less inclined to be seduced by the magic and the illusion of the big screen. Films based onFilm musicals have a long and venerable history in Hollywood, although we see less of them now in this age of skepticism when viewers are slightly less inclined to be seduced by the magic and the illusion of the big screen. Films based on Marvel Comics, which now rule the industry, have succeeded in resurrecting some of that old wizardry that makes the audience forget themselves as they plunge into a make-believe world. Trying to make a magical musical in the twenty-first century that references the classics of the 40’s and 50’s is a risky business, but La-La Land has succeeded in charming its audiences with its song, dance and simple love story of two young people with a dream. Nevertheless, translating what is basically a stagecraft into a musical film is difficult. The forced artificiality of breaking out into song and dance (the phenomenon known as “I feel a song coming on”) is born of the architecture and design of stage and theatre, which is artificial in and of itself. Suspension of disbelief is required for performances limited by the spatial dimensions of the stage, but with live theatre, we are prepared for this practiced tradition of Western civilization going back to ancient Greece (although props and scenery were not invented until after 1600, and the position of scenic designer did not evolve until the 1920’s).


The risk of too much theatrical artificiality is a lurking threat behind this film, but it is to some extent salvaged by the performances of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Their singing voices are so-so but they dazzle when they dance, and Gosling cuts an eloquent profile at any piano. He is the perfect picture of the artist as a young man—romantic, angry, frustrated, a loner who is misunderstood even by the one woman who loves him. From the moment the characters of Mia and Sebastian meet, setbacks, misunderstandings and financial concerns delay and frustrate their relationship until finally it fails. At the end of the film, a fantasy sequence replaying their entire romantic history in an idyllic version of how things might have been is a poetic testament to the harsh realities of life and how it interferes with the hopes and dreams of the individual. For the most part, the two lovers both achieve what they wished for, but the personal price was high. The poignant, old-fashioned nostalgia of the film is enhanced by the musical score, most especially the haunting refrains of the song “City of Stars,” sung by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.

Para comenzar la banda sonora es increible las canciones nos cuentan puntos de la trama y no solo eso los colores son vivos y hacen que una escena se vea genial de verdad los diseños del escenario me gustaron mas que los de avatar. Esta forma de narrativa tambien tiene sus defectos porque si quieres transmitir emociones profundas o tristes no se lograra del todo puesto que el sonido ritmico y el escenario colorido de la pelicula te dira todo los contrario y aunque la iluminacion es bastante buena en otras escenas se pudo mejorar. En el resto de puntos la pelicula es muy simple la trama, el guion y movimiento de camara, se lleva un 11 de 10 en banda sonora y escenarios pero el resto es normal para una pelicula que toma mucha fuerza con lo ya antes mencionado.

Es perfecta por donde se la mire, una historia perfecta, actuaciones increíbles, gran dirección, fotografía, escenario, un guión de lujo, escenas divertidas, canciones muy deleitables, etc.
Una mención especial a la maravillosa Emma Stone, que se luce con su mejor papel hasta la fecha y la verdad, tiene bien merecido el Oscar que ganó
Otra mención especial a la creatividad del director y al cast de la dirección artística, también a los guionistas, quienes crearon una fiesta visual y auditiva.

The story follows a women who dream to be an actress but just can't get a movie role and a man who want to open a bar that plays jazz music. the story is not creative or interesting it is just so cliched.
the film doesn't know what tone it wants to go for. From the advertising and the trailers, you would think that this was going to be a happy musical but no it's a drama and not a good one. Despite of it being a drama most of the song in the movie is a very happy tone and once the songs are over the movie instantly goes back into a drama. Because of this the songs of the movie feel out of place. Not to say that the song is not good. They are actually very good, City of stars is the best song in the hole film it's well written and it's the only song in the hole film that fits in with the tone of the film.
So what about the drama if that is the main focus of the film. well, it's not only bad but it's stooped. The characters are always going back and forward of happy song and serious drama which just ruins the drama.
This film would just be alright if the ending was not terrible. does not make sense for the characters to do what they did at the end and nothing else makes sense about it.
that's why I give this a 4 out of 10

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I freaking love this movie from beginning to end. It's such a feel-good movie. When i watched i for a second time, i could sing along with all the songs, which are great as well. Every song stands out. The story is maybe not that Original: girl meets guy, fall in love, be in a relationship, break up. But it was put in another 'jacket' as i would say, which made the movie a whole new experience. Acting is great. You'll be smiling from minute one with the Original intro with 'Another day of sun' sung by a whole bunch of dancers dancing on the freeway. It ends a bit more sad, with the broken up couple looking back to the movie with some happy and sad music.
Great experience, if you didn't liked it the first time, be sure to give it a second try, changes your perspective and gives you a better look at the movie and its characters.
On of my all time favorites for sure.
