Mia, an aspiring actress, serves lattes to movie stars in between auditions and Sebastian, a jazz musician, scrapes by playing cocktail party gigs in dingy bars, 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.

"It’s stunningly ambitious and thrillingly alive the way the best movies are."
— Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
"La La Land is both delightful confection and life-affirming food for the soul."
— Brian Truitt, USA Today
"What makes La La Land such a hot miracle is how the passion for cinema and its possibilities radiates from every frame."
— Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"La La Land is a film you simply never want to stop watching. It has wisdom and joy and sadness and such magic, from the evocative power of music to the transportative power of movies."
— Jessica Kiang, The Playlist
"For Chazelle to be able to pull this off the way he has is something close to remarkable. The director's feel for a classic but, for all intents and purposes, discarded genre format is instinctive and intense."
— Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
"Like a gift from the movie gods, here comes Damien Chazelle’s dreamy La La Land, right when a lot of us are in desperate need of some light. It’s a valentine to cinema, splashed with primary colors and velvety L.A. sunsets."
— Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times
"La La Land is both a love letter to a confounding and magical city and an ode to the idea of the might-have-been romance, in all its piercing sweetness. It’s a movie with the potential to make lovers of us all. All we have to do is fall into its arms."
— Stephanie Zacharek, Time
"Damien Chazelle’s musical, consistently daring and occasionally sublime, does what the movies have all but forgotten how to do — sweep us up into a dream of love that’s enhanced in an urgent present by the mythic power of Hollywood’s past."
— Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
"Stone, who wowed on Broadway in 'Cabaret,' again shows off some beautiful pipes. She captivates completely from her first frame. Then again, so does La La Land — a singing love letter to musicals, romance and the City of Angels that feels almost like a gift from above."
— Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News
"La La Land wants to remind us how beautiful the half-forgotten dreams of the old days can be – the ones made up of nothing more than faces, music, romance and movement. It has its head in the stars, and for a little over two wonderstruck hours, it lifts you up there too."
— Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
