La La Land (Review)

Here’s to the fools who dream.

While navigating their careers in Los Angeles, a pianist and an actress fall in love while attempting to reconcile their aspirations for the future.

By now surely a lot of people must be sick and tired of hearing everyone talk about this movie. Is it the best film in history? Will it win all the Oscars like The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King did back in 2003? What is the reason behind its international success?

Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Damien Chazelle, LA LA LAND tells the story of Mia [Emma Stone], an aspiring actress, and Sebastian [Ryan Gosling], a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts. Set in modern day Los Angeles, this original musical about everyday life explores the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams.
