5/5

A gorgeously photographed, unashamedly nostalgic, bittersweet marriage of the modern and the traditional, proving Chazelle's fantastic eye for musical sequences.

If individual set pieces are indeed dazzling, La La Land ultimately feels bloated by its references, by the mad rush to imitate all Chazelle’s inspirations.

7/10

Singing, dancing, dreaming, scheming, loving, losing, holding dear:.. a singing-dancing dreamy yet melancholy pastiche of musicals past and perhaps even a precursor of musicals yet to come

5/5

Despite being movie magic in a nutshell, La La Land unfurls a real truth: our passions give us something to aim for, even if chasing those dreams leaves us wondering about what might have been.

One of THE BEST movies of all time with musical scores, acting, and story line. Doesn't matter how many times I have seen this movie, it breaks me every time (and I don't even care for musicals I'm extremely picky!)

Amazing cinematography and seeing it in Dolby made me appreciate this film more. Ryan Gosling was a standout, some of the songs dragged on a bit but overall great movie and certainly lived up to the hype.
