In 1998, Greg Sestero (Dave Franco) is
a struggling wannabe actor, failing to leave much of an impression at his acting class.
Damien Chazelle's second film is the story of two
struggling artists — jazz pianist Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and
wannabe actor Mia (Emma Stone)-- who don't exactly meet cute, then do before going on to have a very real relationship (cleverly camouflaged as piece of fluff musical).
