ansonlovesfilm’s review published on Letterboxd:
I have nothing to watch, so I decided to rewatch this romance masterpiece again. La La Land will always be a film that will stay in my heart forever!! The dynamic between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling is just perfect. I just wish that ending never happened, and I still tear up everytime I see it.
I can watch this film endlessly and listen to the score on repeat. I actually listen to the score at least once a day. There is something about these songs whether it be the instrumentals or the vocals. They fill my whole body with comfort, happiness, and a feeling of warmth. Additionally, Emma Stone's monologue was still sad to watch as always. I may not be a girl, but you can tell how her character just wanted an opportunity. I love that Seb would always encourage Mia to stay confident all the time as well.
Everytime I watch this film, my urge to move to California/LA keeps getting stronger and stronger. I would be much happier living there, and visiting the Griffith Observatory everyday would be great. I am hoping I can go there for vacation again soon because I will try to find all of the La La Land filming locations once I’m there.
La La Land, you will forever stay in my heart!! 💜💜🥹
(Also, this film has now moved up to my top 19 of all time!! I could even see this going higher!! It's one of the greatest films ever made, and it's Damien Chazelle's best!!)
"I've been to a million auditions, and the same thing happens every time, where I get interrupted because someone wants to get a sandwich. Or I'm crying, and they start laughing. Or there's people sitting in the waiting room, and they're... and they're like me but prettier and better at the... because maybe I'm not good enough." - Mia Dolan (Emma Stone)
