La La Land | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christy Lemire What the Flick?! It is joyful. It leaps off the screen. Oct 10, 2018 Full Review La La Land | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Kambole Campbell 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 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review La La Land | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Kristen Lopez Culturess With its candy-coated color palette and Emma Stone's earth-shattering performance, there's plenty of love found within La La Land. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review La La Land | Rotten Tomatoes (4) JD Duran InSession Film 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... Aug 8, 2024 Full Review La La Land | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brendan Cassidy InSession Film Chazelle takes advantage of that vulnerability for the film’s surprising second half, and that’s when La La Land gets real. Jun 18, 2024 Full Review La La Land | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Angelos Koutsourakis PopMatters The melancholy in this film's musical sequences serves as commentary on cinema's bygone capacity to produce a unique kind of magic.

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 Audience Member An absolutely life changing film. One of the best I've seen, the acting is amazing, Ryan and Emma both did a phenomenal job. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good cry. It was very entertaining to me and deep, made me rethink life. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Audience Member What a boring movie, no true purpose. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Parth P Glamour story, glamorous acting, awesome cinematic shots, music and songs, everything. There are lots of things to talk about but why that kind of ending. That Ending literally hit me so had that I can't stop thinking about it.So basically movie starts with traffic of bollywood style opening where literally from one person who started to dance between traffic and one by one everyone joined presenting amazing dance and then title of movie. AMAZING!So from there two leads character meet and movie get beautiful flow helping us to get connect with those characters to understand their emotions, motivation and dreams they have. Most of the time Mia played by Emma Stone, her eyes were enough representing most the emotions they want.Most important thing that movie hold were music and songs. Those songs had taken me to I don't know what that world is called. Specially the main music theme of movie, I don't have words. Everything was perfect, amazing and their bonding but still that ending hurted so bad. I already know because of spoiler but still why. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
