wersku’s review published on Letterboxd:
Gosling and Stone's first encounter is a literal and metaphorical middle finger filled with love to the audience.
Behold how the stars glimmer so gracefully in the vast sky, their perfection timeless and beautiful. If only I could waltz with you beneath their glow every night. Ah, to exist in a symphony of harmony, where every soul finds its own rhythm. Like a melody of dance and song, life weaves its beauty through compromise, crafting our own musical that resonates deeply in every heart. This is for all the fools who dream.
A standing ovation and a heartfelt salute to the musicals of old, where colors bloom into a symphony of warmth and chill, painting a love that forever lingers in dreams. A dazzling musical journey that earns every bit of its acclaim, a true triumph of artistry. It’s no simple musical—it's a kaleidoscope of emotion, inviting you to twirl beneath a cascade of rainbow tears in your home or cinema. A film that feels like it transcends time, wrapped in the elegance of its craft. I loved every minute of it.
A modern perspective, an existential dream that liberates and fuels the desire for what lies ahead. Dreams and love do not always go hand in hand, but they are worth holding onto. A tragic conflict for love and endless longing for what we all deserve in life. Our past is always a lost opportunity, but the future is as open as a starlit sky full of possibilities—if only we know how to look at it the right way.
This movie and life is like jazz, an ever-shifting dance of compromise, full of unpredictable twists. It’s a sculpted spectacle, serenely melancholic, a beautiful chaos where two stars shine in harmony, each one complementing a life that moves forward, dancing toward the unknown. The film embodies both of their dreams, each one striving for the smile that makes the struggle worthwhile. Nothing glows as brilliantly as the eternal pursuit of love and dreams.
I will always have a love for musicals. They never fail to captivate, and I can honestly say that not a single moment here feels lost. The songs are not perfect because they are emotional tools, they feel grounded in a good way. That's why the emotions dance through my mind, and it's the film's details—those subtle nuances—that I long to explore, to unravel what they truly express. A film bathed in dreams, eager to unfold its full beauty, deserving of countless viewings, because every dream deserves a fresh chance, as long as we remember to live in a world that isn’t just a movie...
Just kidding, my life will always be in la la land because that's what we all deserve. It's place worth fighting for, because I believe people everywhere like in this platform is full of dreamers who deserve nothing but the best. Masterpiece for me.
