Let’s just say I’ve never seen anything like it and that it was the most perfectly relatable film, for me, at this very moment. Without going too much into detail, I liked it and I found it relatable for its strong emphasis on following our true ambitions. For following our true ambitions always wins (something I’ve tried to do for as long as I can remember). This above all I celebrate. Not money or fame. (Unless your ambitions are money and/or fame, then we have a whole other issue to dissect!)
Also, I loved Gosling’s character’s sense of encouragement. That is something I find hugely attractive in a person – one of the reasons I fell in love with my boyfriend. Relatable, see! It doesn’t have to be a lover though, it could be your grandmother, your father or your friend’s friend. There’s nothing more beautiful than encouragement. It is so important. And we ALL need it. I’m so grateful to have a few people in my life who gift me encouragement. And I shall take a mental note this very moment to spend more time with them. Why don’t you do the same?
More, Emma Stone’s dresses.
Last but not least, Gosling’s face.
Okay, enough chit-chat. Go see it! It might seem a bit slow for the impatient but trust me when I say, you will grow to like it. Unless you’re a cactus.

I liked the message of the movie too. Mia song at the end, “Audition,” gave me goosebumps. That movie was just so good!

Totally agree with your opinions on La La Land. I’m a dreamer, so I could definitely relate to this film. If you have a chance, would you mind reading my review? :) https://ticketsandpopcorn.wordpress.com/2016/12/17/la-la-land-2016/

I really enjoyed it, just wrote a review yesterday and completely agree with you! I really like how the emphasis was on following dreams and the sacrifices which must be made to reach them sometimes. I think La La Land is so special for a number of reasons, one of them being that there is just SO much to talk about. Definitely a classic to come!
