La La Land brings together an aspiring actress and a jazz pianist who both pine for the future, but keep their feet standing squarely in the past. Mia (Emma Stone) desires to get out from behind the counter of the local coffee shop, but gets knocked back with every audition. While Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) aspires to own his own jazz club, but finds it hard for people to capture his musical vision. When these two come together, it is like the fusion of two worlds that should not mix, because their attraction brings out the best and worst in their lives. This fascinating love affair is conveyed through song, dance and a well choreographed script that is set within the beauty of the multi-layered aspects of the Hollywood landscape.
