La La Land

In this modern take on the Hollywood musical from Damien Chazelle, the Academy Award-nominated writer and director of Whiplash, Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and Mia (Emma Stone) are drawn together by their common desire to do what they love. But as success mounts they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fragile fabric of their love affair, and the dreams they worked so hard to maintain in each other threaten to rip them apart.

Wow!  This movie was a visual masterpiece.  The way it was filmed was remarkable and sucks you in right off the bat.  The music, choreography and chemistry between the leads on top of the camera usage really made this an amazing watch.  Didn't think I could like Emma Stone more but I totally do now.  And I had downloaded the soundtrack before the movie was even over.  This deserves all of the recognition it is getting and should be a front runner for Best Picture.

I absolutely recommend people seeing this movie.  It was an amazing watch and is probably my number one movie of the year.
