Used sparingly IMO, to heighten the love intensity and close connection within the couple. Gosling was portrayed as jazz musician, so there is a lot of music, but not basically a musical.
Billy said it well: they pull you into their love circle, then tear your heart out in the end as they each commit relational suicide. It wasn't circumstances-- it was choice.
No wonder the Academy didn't give them best picture. People walked out of theaters hurting.
