Beautifully said, Gareth. This movie is so profoundly beautiful that every rewatch feels like I’m seeing it for the first time. It’s easily one of my new favorite films.
I couldn’t agree more! I went into this movie expecting it to be as over-rated as many were saying at the time, but I walked out of the theater loving it. Easily my favorite film from last year!
This is on my viewing list for this week! Hope I get to it.
I thought the best part was the LA traffic scene. I guess I wasn’t as regaled as everyone else. I liked it enough to give it a recommendation.
The opening scene sets a great tone. I found it joyous, but I’ve read many articles by people who didn’t take much away from it. It helps that I like both leads. There was a sense of old-school magic to it that I liked. And musicals are low on my radar.
I love this film. Typically my husband and I don’t go for musicals but we both really enjoyed this–and he stayed awake the whole time. To me this is a solid nine out of ten. Really nice review too.
I’m the same. Musicals don’t usually resonate with me, but La La Land did. I like the actors, which helps, but I this had so much old romance in it, and I’m a complete sucker for that. Thank you for stopping by to read and drop a comment.
