The film is not perfect, but in terms of style display and personality, it makes people speechless.The whole film is fascinating.(Hollywood Reporter Review)The two actors' singing is full of charm, and their performance is nearly perfect.(Time Review)[16]
In the City of Philharmonic Music, the space for the "performance" of musical plays is relatively open.At the beginning of the Jacques Demi style group dance on the traffic jam road, Mia and her roommates walked out from the relatively closed room to the broad outdoor road. They were singing and dancing against the setting sun on the top of the mountain. Ryan Gosling walked on the bridge and invited the black grandma to dance. Behind them, there was a sea of endless morning light.The sense of openness in space corresponds to the bright emotional tone on the surface of the whole film, which also strengthens the emotional tension of the characters in every song and dance.This sense of openness is more like Mia and Sebastian's imagination and outlook for the future. Although their careers are still hard to pursue at the moment, and their relationship has just begun, at that moment, they had unlimited vision for the future, indicating a kind of hope and strength[23]。Although the story of this film is rather old-fashioned, director Chazelei used a lot of installation art in the presentation of audio-visual language, and made clear stylistic features with color blocks, geometric shapes and light and dark areas.In the selection of songs, he is also ingenious, telling stories with music[16]。(1905 film online review)
The film opens with an ambitious traffic jam+long shot, and then drivers get off the bus and start dancing happily, laying the overall tone of the film.With the "winter spring summer autumn winter" as the boundary, it is divided into five paragraphs. Although the story is just a common routine of "boys meet girls, they fall in love", under the direction of Chazelei, who has super control, it combines jazz, swing dance, and even surreal elements, which makes the declining film genre of dance and song movies come back to life.Several dances starring men and women are wonderful, and the director's control of the film is amazing.(Phoenix Entertainment Review)
