Both Gosling and Emma Stone are brilliant in the lead roles and there is a prominent supporting role for John Legend, who also wrote and performed a song in his role as the lead singer of a band.

The film certainly has similarities with Whiplash, the previous movie by writer/director Damien Chazelle, and there is a small role for J. K. Simmons which I thought was funny because his character is against jazz! It looks stunning with the 2.55:1 ratio which stretches out from a 1.33:1 opening to really expand the screen and the vibrant colours are a wonder to behold, so it is probably best seen at the cinema if you get the chance.

I'll probably go and see it again as I enjoyed so much. Everyone should go and see it even if you're not a fan of musical's
