| The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldLike 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. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternDamien 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. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyIt’s stunningly ambitious and thrillingly alive the way the best movies are. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe DziemianowiczStone, 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. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinThe actors carry the music in their gait, their gestures, the rhythms of their speech, so that their singing and dancing is a small but exquisite step up from the way that they normally talk and walk. To rhapsodize about La La Land is to complete the experience. You want to sing its praises, literally. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversWhat makes La La Land such a hot miracle is how the passion for cinema and its possibilities radiates from every frame. |
| USA TodayBrian TruittLa La Land is both delightful confection and life-affirming food for the soul. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaSome of it is wistful, some of it whimsical, but it's all wonderful, impossibly so. |
| TimeStephanie ZacharekLa 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. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayThe real star in La La Land is the movie itself, which pulses and glows like a living thing in its own right, as if the MGM musicals of the “Singin’ in the Rain” era had a love child with the more abstract confections of Jacques Demy, creating a new kind of knowing, self-aware genre that rewards the audience with all the indulgences they crave...while commenting on them from the sidelines. |
