Review of First Man (2018) by Hassan I — 14 Oct 2018
Ryan Gosling delivers one of the best performances of his career in "First Man", a gripping biopic about the first ever man to walk on the moon. Director Damien Chazelle's long-awaited follow-up to "La La Land" is an intimate film that looks at the life of famed astronaut Neil Armstrong.
Packed with powerful performances, stunning visuals and thrilling space sequences, it delivers exhilarating entertainment. As Neil Armstrong, Gosling delivers one of his most emotional performances to date.
Although it is powerfully acted, "First Man" is not a film without flaws. It suffers slightly from a lengthy running time, and takes a while to get going. Nevertheless, it is a must-see for fans of space films and will definitely be talked about come awards season.
