Quotes

Sebastian: Alright, I remember you. And yes, I'll admit that when we met, I was a little curt.
Mia: You were "curt?"
Sebastian: Alright, I was an asshole. I can admit that! But requesting "I Ran" from a serious musician? Too far!
Mia: Did you just say "a serious musician?"
Sebastian: That's not what I said.
Mia: That's a really cool outfit. Do you mind if I borrow it next week?
Sebastian: Why?
Mia: Because I have an audition coming up where I have to play a "serious" firefighter.

My Most Memorable Cinematic Experience Since Star Wars - when I was six
10 October 2016 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

The last time, I felt like this, in a cinema, I was six years old and I was watching Star Wars. I never imagined, I would ever find that feeling again in a cinema. That sense of being transported to another world.

The opening sequence took my breath away and I never got it back. Not even at the end - which left my head spinning. It is a beautiful film with soul, wit, charm, style and love. It is simply outrageous! Bold and fantastic and fantastical.

I am a straight man but my love for Ryan Gosling could change all that. He's a melancholy genius and Emma Stone is our muse.

This film defies genre. It is a masterpiece. I urge you to see it. I was lucky enough to see it at the BFI London Film Festvial.

It has been five days since I saw La La Land and I am still thinking about it and singing the haunting refrain that plays with your soul. I mean it gets in there - that music - the music of the firmament. Flying still, dreaming still... thank you Damien.
