Kristen Lopez Culturess 11/20/2017
With its candy-coated color palette and Emma Stone's earth-shattering performance, there's plenty of love found within La La Land. Go to Full Review

Brendan Cassidy InSession Film 06/18/2024
Chazelle takes advantage of that vulnerability for the film’s surprising second half, and that’s when La La Land gets real. Go to Full Review

K Mizz 11/29/2024 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! See more Gary 05/20/2023 One thing about this movie is telling us is to Follow our Dreams 💫✊🏿🎞🎬❤ See more G 12/31/2021 An American Classic Love Story See more Katie D 03/15/2021 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. See more Judah S. @Judah3963 4d One of the most beautiful homage’s to old filmmaking. Had me hooked the whole time and despite not being an action movie it had me on the edge of my seat for the whole last act. See more Niklas L Dec 15 At the heart of the movie is the pursuit of artistry and passion. The protagonists are both enduring economic struggles to have a shot at their dream, be it playing jazz piano or acting. Ultimately, the movie centers on the very clash of their preference to be well off and, at the same time, spend their time doing something that they value themselves, even if it is not valued by others as much. These clashing preferences become most pronounced when Mia struggles financially after attempting to write and act in a one person theatre play, and Seb takes on a job that pays well but is not very close to his ideals. Their respect for each other is fundamentally linked to their willingness to fight for what they think is valuable, so they break up after Mia gives up her acting career, and Seb is willing to cut corners in his career as well. Ultimately, both achieve economic prosperity whilst fulfilling their dreams; and both wished they stayed together. See more Read all reviews
