What the Flick?!

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.

It’s a perfect blend of homage to classic Hollywood musicals, while injecting modern filmmaking and emotion. It’s a beautiful story that evokes ideas that we can all relate with...

Chazelle takes advantage of that vulnerability for the film’s surprising second half, and that’s when La La Land gets real.

PopMatters

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

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! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review 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 Islam H Not really a musical person but this was worth a watch thanks to the great story, acting & piano pieces throughout. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Silver S one of the best movies of the century, you dont need to like musicals to like it. many movies have been about actors and musicians but this is the best of all Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
