Although I don't really like musicals, something made me watch this one to the end. He did it in 4 days.
The camera work is chic, the staging of dance parts is also wonderfully executed. The atmosphere of fairy tales and dreams was successful in reality. If not for the plot, it would be a canonical revival of the genre from the 50s. But it's not that simple.
Considering the idea of a romantic pursuit of a dream, at the end of the story, the musical strikes such a blow. It is raising the question that perhaps we should be afraid of fulfilling our desires that makes his happy ending stand out among other musical films.
It is these last few minutes that take La Land to the next level. Without them, it would be a very beautiful, but passing film, in which, to give credit, the plot develops quite quickly for a musical.
