La La Land
Got turned off by all the La La Land love when it first hit cinemas? Don’t be such a doltz this time around. This is one of the best musicals in absolute yonks, and essential viewing even if the mere mention of ‘jazz hands’ is usually enough to make you retch. Why? Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone carry off what could have been a generic, schmaltzy romance with wit and subtlety to play your heartstrings like a fiddle.
