This film is so magical it made me actually wistful for Los Angeles. I was not prepared for Emma Stone to reach Catherine Deneuve levels of radiance. I am now officially recanting/retiring all of the Jake Gyllenhall/Ryan Gosling are the same person jokes.
I’m sad I waited 10 years to see this, but thrilled I got to see it on the big screen. This film is a glorious tribute to dreams, the movies, Jazz and any art they try to tell us is dead.
As long as we have passion and music and art, we can survive anything.
A triumph.
