La La Land

La La Land

What an utterly astounding feat of cinema.

I'm not sure what I can even say about 'La La Land'. This film was beautifully craft in every sense of the word, from the bippity-bottom to the tippity-top. The cinematography was 100% cohesive. The acting was superb. The ever-so-subtle humorous ways of Ryan and Emma were perfect-(and I mean perfect)-ly timed. The colors, HOLY CANNOLI the colors of this movie were somehow earth-tone-esque, while at the same time vibrant and neon-ey. The music was wonderfully assembled and naturally performed. The dancing was fantastically choreographed and expertly used. The emotional beats of this movie were placed with precision. This story told just enough to rivet me and left just enough for me to make of it what I needed.

I wish there were things I could knock about this picture, but I'm empty handed. I cannot wait for enough time to go by for me to rewatch.

Unsure if it's been said already, but surely not by me: I am elated that this film was made. It's got all the components that the big screen needs to offer audiences. 'La La Land' is a celebration of movie-making, a celebration I'm glad to have been fashionably late to, because I'm gad to be invited in the first place.
