La La Land (2016) Review

 They say that nothing is perfect but La La Land definitely is. A production that makes my Top 50 list, La La Land is the paramount musical I've watched yet. Whether you're into this genre or not, it's a must-watch for every viewer.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone share a bedazzling on-screen chemistry and the latter deserved her Oscar. I never thought that director Damien Chazelle could top his masterpiece Whiplash so soon, but he has made this venture his magnum opus. Even though it's a musical, there's a balance between music and plot, and the cinematography is truly magical. The score by Justin Hurwitz, especially the ballad "City of Stars", is to die for.

One of the finest flicks of all time.

The Rating: 4 out of 4.
