La La Land
Tonight we saw an advance screening of La La Land at Moonlight Cinema and I loved it. One of my favorite parts was during the scene where the main characters are tap-dancing up in the hills overlooking city lights of LA at sunset, in the background at the outdoor theater, the sun was setting similarly and in the distance were Sydney city lights coming on. It was quite meta.
Anyway, I highly recommend seeing it, even if you have to see it indoors. It's pays homage to classic movies and musicals, yet it doesn't have a classic "Hollywood ending". It's funny while tugging at the heartstrings, and the dance numbers are beautifully choreographed.
You just can't go wrong with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.
