I think Damien Chazelle has clearly succeeded in bringing a musical comedy film to a wider audience. And on top of that, I'd say he's succeeded in bringing a new version to the genre. Some people see musicals as having no real plot, just a bunch of guys singing. But here, the characters have a story and they want to tell it (or rather sing it). Mia and Sebastian have a beautiful and sad story. But it's still a very realistic one. It's far from a clichéd fairy tale. The ending, surprising though it may be, is still realistic, despite the fact that this is a rather magical and colourful film. It clearly deserves its success and I don't know if another musical this good will come along any time soon.
