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) 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 (5) 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. Feb 21, 2024 Full Review La La Land | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome This film is a celebration of “the fools who dream.” The world would be a much darker place without those fools.

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 Ashton B "La La Land" starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend, and many other A-list Actors, is an absolute must watch. In addition to showcasing the early life of Mia and Sebastian, La La Land perfectly displays how in life "The show must go on" and how life doesn't always go as planned. La La Land uses lighting, colouring and exceptional cinematography to tell the stories of Mia and Sebastian in their journeys for success. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Mia H This is the most heartbreaking movie I have ever seen in my life. My heart is shattered and I can never hear any of those songs again or I will pass away. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Audience Member It was SO good but the ending was not what I expected. The ending was really unexpected I feel like it would’ve been better if the ending was like how a lot of people would’ve expected it to be. It was a cool twist though. The songs are so good though like omg. The jazz. It’s amazing like omggg. Other then the ending, so good literally amazing I would totally watch it again.
