A love letter to old Hollywood and jazz music, La La Land is a beautiful musical spectacle best seen on the big screen. In their third big screen team up after Crazy Stupid Love and Gangster Squad, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone proved even more that they have great chemistry. They made the right decision to do it for this is the best among the films that they made together.
Emma Stone plays Mia Dolan, an aspiring actress who works at a coffee star inside a movie studio in Hollywood. Gosling is Sebastian, a struggling jazz musician/pianist who dreams is to open up his own jazz club. La La Land is basically the story of dreamers who wanna make it big in the city and the challenges that they face in achieving that.
In only his second major film after the award winning Whiplash, director Damien Chazelle proved that he ain't a one hit wonder. His love of jazz still lingers in the film and also he magically combined it with a tribute to the movie musical set today. However, La La Land keeps it grounded providing it with an ending that's real and haunting.
