Review of First Man (2018)

Review of First Man (2018)

By Jon Winkler (42) for The Young Folks (1,024) on 11 Oct 2018

There's no question Chazelle is good at what he does, but he might be too good at fulfilling his vision in this case as First Man feels much…

Review of First Man (2018)

By Alci Rengifo (87) for Entertainment Voice (75) on 11 Oct 2018

The most special thing about this story is that it is not science fiction, it was real, it happened, and it asks us to dream again…

Review of First Man (2018)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 11 Oct 2018

Ryan Gosling is exceptionally restrained in a performance that, if all you know about Armstrong is that he was notoriously private (but not…

Review of First Man (2018)
