La La Land
Dreamers, dancing under a bruised-purple sky
This is the date-night film you settle into shoulder to shoulder — Damien Chazelle's romance follows Emma Stone's aspiring actress and Ryan Gosling's stubborn jazz musician as ambition and love pull sweetly, achingly against each other. It's swooning and bittersweet in equal measure, with plenty to murmur about on the walk home. And with showings all over the city this week, it's the easiest one to actually make.
