It is joyful. It leaps off the screen.

One Room With A View

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

Rated: 5/5

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

PopMatters

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

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

This film is a celebration of “the fools who dream.” The world would be a much darker place without those fools.

Gary One thing about this movie is telling us is to Follow our Dreams 💫✊🏿🎞🎬❤ Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/23 Full Review G An American Classic Love Story Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/21 Full Review Katie D 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/21 Full Review Mia H This is the most heartbreaking movie I have ever seen in my life. My heart is shattered and I can never hear any of those songs again or I will pass away. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Audience Member It was SO good but the ending was not what I expected. The ending was really unexpected I feel like it would’ve been better if the ending was like how a lot of people would’ve expected it to be. It was a cool twist though. The songs are so good though like omg. The jazz. It’s amazing like omggg. Other then the ending, so good literally amazing I would totally watch it again. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review ham1xqs F This Movie is my personalf favorite.People will hate it and say things but only those who have loved someone or have ad their first love will truly understand this movie and connect with it. Which is why this movie is my favorite, I really relate to it and learned from the ending that sometimes two people can forever love each other but they have their own path for the best. I hope this movie gets more recognition. The music is also absolutely beautiful and catchy. I just LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!!
