It is joyful. It leaps off the screen.

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

With its candy-coated color palette and Emma Stone's earth-shattering performance, there's plenty of love found within La La Land.

It’s a perfect blend of homage to classic Hollywood musicals, while injecting modern filmmaking and emotion. It’s a beautiful story that evokes ideas that we can all relate with...

Chazelle takes advantage of that vulnerability for the film’s surprising second half, and that’s when La La Land gets real.

The melancholy in this film's musical sequences serves as commentary on cinema's bygone capacity to produce a unique kind of magic.

Perfection. One of the best movies ever made. Musical genius. Dancing. Whimsy. Romance. Heartbreak. Storyline that mirrors life, yet keeps dreams alive. Can watch it over and over again!

Definitely not what I was expecting! I love Emma and Ryan together but the storylines were a bit drawn out and disappointingly difficult to follow. Some of the musical numbers/dream sequences felt out of place and over the top, sending the audience out of La La Land. I did really like the jazz coming into a new generation and John Legend's music! This movie was really good but not not great.

It is simply the representation of what it is like to love a person and not be able to get them out of your mind, the ending is perfect.
