"While listeners and moviegoers alike will find that Gosling and Stone don't quite have the singing chops of an Astaire and Rogers, their voices are warm and approachable, and their duet "A Lovely Night," in particular, is a bright charmer".

"Justin Hurwitz, if you don't remember, almost won a few awards for his score to 2014's excellent Whiplash. I loved that score. The hype for La La Land is immense or maybe it just feels that way. The score and movie is already nominated for Golden Globe and few would be surprised if it gathered a few Oscar nominations as well ... If you enjoyed Whiplash, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this as well. It has a unique way of telling the story with old fashioned music and most importantly a jazz theme attached to it. It sounds terrific and I can just imagine this score coupled with all the songs in the film with dazzling dance numbers. That to me sounds amazing. In conclusion, it's another winner from Hurwitz who continue to deliver the good stuff".

"Vurdering: B+" - "The final reprisal of "City of Stars" comes over the end credits, this time with Stone humming and later using "bum bum bahs" and "da da dahs" in place of the words. Like all of La La Land, it is a perfect encapsulation of how people and songs evolve, from worry to love to a point where no words are needed. It is, of course, the music that remains: a constant companion and guiding light. Maybe life having a soundtrack is but a dream, but as La La Land's remarkable music proves, it's one well worth believing in".
