Movie Review: La La Land

Delve into the magical world of jazz, and uncover the love you never knew you had in Damien Chazelle’s wonderous love letter to the Hollywood of old.

***** (5 stars/5)

Five years ago, if you had told me I would be sat here giving a film such as this a five-star review, I’d have told you to sing and dance your way out of the door. Yet La La Land is the exception, as it smoothly waltzes its way through the two hours and eight-minute run time in a wealth of colour, effortlessly deployed by director Damien Chazelle and cinematographer Linus Sandgren.
