K Mizz 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!

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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/21 Full Review Khaliel P No matter what. This film came out in 2016 — nine years ago. Since its release, I’ve tried to watch it four times, and each time I either turned it off or fell asleep before the first half-hour. And yet, I’m a huge fan of musicals from all eras, from The Sound of Music to Wicked, including Mary Poppins and Mamma Mia. But with La La Land, the magic just doesn’t work. I honestly couldn’t care less about the story of a composer and an actress. A good musical should bring music into a world where it’s unexpected, where people singing and dancing feels out of place — that’s what makes it special. But a composer and an actress? Sorry, but that’s already part of their everyday life. There’s nothing surprising about it. (I had a similar issue with Chicago and Moulin Rouge, though the latter managed to be more original by reimagining modern songs in its own way.) So, for me, La La Land remains — even after nine years and four failed attempts (the fifth one was the charm, and I’m only criticizing it now that I’ve finally seen it all the way through) — completely uninteresting. Not a single song stuck with me (though I have to admit the instrumental score by Justin Hurwitz is absolutely stunning!). Everything else just feels slow and overly drawn out. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Julian Rex M A powerfully mounted manifesto of both the beauty of Hollywood and the weird, wild, wonderful world of creativity, La La Land buttresses a budding career for director Damien Chazelle with strong performances and impassioned screenwriting.
