About La La Land

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.

Our take on La La Land

Damien Chazelle's 2016 musical sweeps an aspiring actress and a jazz pianist through a love story set to song and dance across a dreamy Los Angeles. Joyous, melancholy and ravishingly staged, it's a bittersweet ode to ambition and the price of dreams. If its romance and musical splendour moved you, seek out modern musicals and bittersweet love stories about art, longing and the roads not taken.
