🎶 La La Land: A Love Story That Dances on Your Heart (and Then Stomps on It) 💔

 Okay, I don’t know what it is, but La La Land just has this nostalgic vibe that makes you feel like you’re watching an old-school Hollywood romance—except with iPhones and Priuses. It’s modern, but also timeless. I couldn’t tell you what year it’s actually set in, but if I had to guess? I’d slap a vague “somewhere between 1950 and 2016” on it and call it a day.

Let’s talk about our two lovebirds—Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling). The whole movie makes it seem like they are endgame, soulmates, meant to be, ride-or-die, all that jazz (literally) 🎷💃. They dance through life together, dream together, and make you believe in their love… until they don’t. The biggest plot twist (if you can even call it that) is that despite all the romantic build-up, they do not end up together. EXCUSE ME, WHAT?! 😤 I sat through two hours of jazz, tap dancing, and musical montages for this?

And then there’s David—aka the most random man alive. Who is he? Where did he come from? Is he just a placeholder husband? 🧐 The movie doesn’t even try to make me care about him, which is wild because, hello, Mia married him. Like, girl, you had Sebastian and you chose David? The math isn’t mathing. But let’s be honest—Mia and Sebastian stilllove each other. You see it in their eyes in that final scene. The unspoken what could have been moment? Yeah, that hurt.

Overall, I’d give La La Land a solid 6/10. It’s visually stunning, the music is great, but the heartbreak? Unnecessary. If you love movies that make you feel nostalgic for a time period you can’t quite place, filled with romance that ultimately goes nowhere, then this is the film for you. 🎬✨
