Review of Astronaut (2019) by Jim Slotek for Original-Cin — 25 Jul 2019

At times, that slowness and steadiness in writer-director Shelagh McLeod’s tale is worth the wait as solid actors – including Dreyfuss and Graham Greene – do their thing. At others, it’s a source of consternation (particularly when events are moving at what should be a swift pace).

But the “sad piano” soundtrack trope in the first act is probably the movie’s biggest hurdle. Stay with it, though.
