La La Land (2016)

♥♥♥♥

Liked it quite a lot! Well executed story, and pretty good music!

That ending kinda came as a surprise, and being a sucker for even over the top romance I was quite saddened by it :'( , but on the other hand it seems to bring some realism into the movie world in general, with all those opting for happily ever after. It's sad now they're just each other's "somebody that they used to know". At least they could be friends, but maybe their previous intense emotions would get in the way and make it painful. Perhaps she was happy now, but he seemed less so, and that asymmetry is something one would often encounter in real life, and should really get "used to" (or at least accept), however difficult it is.
Not the most captivating intro in my opinion, kinda over the top, but fortunately it gets on track after that.
