A Damien Chazelle film, La La Land (2016), starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, is an ode to the genre of musicals that bagged the Oscars and a few polarized opinions. While the critics and one-half of the audience were in awe of the film's cinematic color grading, magical romance, and soul-soothing musical numbers, the other half of the audience was displeased with its heartbreaking ending, calling it simply overhyped. We also can't ignore the fact that though it celebrated jazz, it overlooked the contribution of Black artists.
