La La Land review: you'll leave with a tear in your eye and a song in your heart.

Every once in a while, you come out of a movie theater feeling like you’re walking on air. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it restores your faith in the power of cinema.

“La La Land” is a film you simply never want to stop watching.

This is a film that doesn't pull punches on any of its big, broad emotions.

In his follow-up to “Whiplash,” writer-director Damien Chazelle serves up a recognizable Los Angeles that’s also a singing, dancing land of dreams.

La La Land feels like a throwback and also like something we've never seen before, resulting in a dreamy musical that hits just about every note.

La La Land earns its place in the pantheon as its own special thing, expansive enough to be at once modern and elemental, exuberant and melancholic.

La La Land succeeds both as a fizzy fantasy and a hard-headed fable, a romantic comedy and a showbiz melodrama, a work of sublime artifice and touching authenticity.

The glorious La La Land anchors its daydream dazzle to real life.

Catch the film on the largest screen you can find, with a sound system to match, even if that means journeying all day. Have a drink beforehand. And, whatever you do, don’t wait...

The cussedness of La La Land is almost enough to recommend it. Damien Chazelle's sumptuous tribute to romantics trying to keep lit the fire of a guttering culture is defiantly o...

It’s splashy, it’s beautiful, and its characters are aburst with song. “La La Land” looks like a great musical. But putting on a white T-shirt and yelling “Stella!” doesn’t make...

The film is bound up in a referentiality that precludes the outpourings of emotion we come to musicals for.
