La La Land

Lalaland as a film is unparalleled in its portrayal of the musical for many reasons, its call backs to the “golden age” of Hollywood, the stellar cinematography, colorization, and its beautiful soundtrack. The acting, story, and writing of this film is also nothing to scoff at. The acting performances from both lead actors are heartbreaking and emotional, don’t even get me started on the story. The idea of a love never meant to be, in a musical/drama is so simple yet so powerful. Lalaland is truly a love letter to LA and the history of the musical.
