Review La La Land (Level FIRST, B2) All the people are talking about the last Damien Chazelle’s film, “La La Land”. This film is based on a Jazz pianist who falls in love for an aspiring actress in Los Angeles. The critics went crazy for this film calling it “the Academy Award Movie of the year”, which already has seven Golden Globe, eleven BAFTA and fourteen Oscar nominations. First of all, the plot is basically a dull and cliché conflict between love and the goal of the lead characters. Nevertheless, I hadn’t watched the trailer or anything about it before the day that I went to the cinema. Honestly, that was a good point for me because one of the most dangerous fad, besides the spoilers, is the hype. Secondly, the two lead actors, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, were fantastic, even hilarious in some moments. However, the music was the best of the film. I didn’t know that Justin Hurwitz, who also worked with Damien in “Whiplash”, composed the soundtrack. Personally, I would highly recommend to watch “La La Land” to anyone who enjoys musical films. If you don’t expect to find a great and original plot or breathtaking dialogue, you will enjoy with the sensitive characters and beautiful music.

All the people are Everyone is talking about the last latest (latest is better here, the problem with using 'last' is that it sounds like tit could be the last film ever by Damien Chezelle)Damien Chazelle ’s film, “La La Land”. This film is based on a Jazz pianist who falls in love for with (always 'fall in love WITH somebody')an aspiring actress in Los Angeles. The critics went crazy for this film calling it “the Academy Award Movie of the year”, which already has already been nominated for seven Golden Globes, eleven BAFTAs  and fourteen Oscars nominations. (Your structure was fine, but this structure just makes it easier with the plurals)


First of all, Firstly, the plot is basically a dull and clichéd conflict between love and the individual goals of the lead characters. Nevertheless, (There is no need to have 'nevertheless' here, because you are not expressing a contrast)I hadn’t watched the trailer or heard anything about it the film before the day that I went to the cinema. Honestly, that was a good point thing (point is a word mainly used in debates or arguments. The word 'thing' is fine to use in English)for me because one of the most dangerous issues surrounding any film fad,(fad is often used to describe temporary fashions) besides the spoilers, is the hype.

Secondly, the two lead actors, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, were fantastic, even hilarious in some moments. However, the music was the best of thing about the film. I didn’t know that Justin Hurwitz, who also worked with Damien in “Whiplash”, composed the soundtrack.

Personally, I would highly recommend to watch “La La Land” to anyone who enjoys musical films with great music('musical' is a separate genre of films, so it is best to avoid this adjective when describing a normal film). If As long as you don’t expect to find a great and original plot or with breathtaking dialogue, you will enjoy with (no preposition with enjoy)the sensitive characters and beautiful music.
