Secondary
La La Land centers on the love story and professional journeys of its two heterosexual protagonists, Mia and Sebastian. The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, storylines, or themes, thus offering no direct portrayal or engagement with queer identity within its narrative.
