Review of First Man (2018) by Mattyice — 14 Oct 2018
First Man's themes (similar to Chazelle's other movies), cinematography, sound design, score, and climax are major accomplishments and deserve awards recognition. However, the ability to like this movie is almost completely reliant on the viewer's attention spans, because this movie is a slow burner at many points and Gosling's acting, while great, can be a bit wooden based on Neil's bland personality in real life.
I personally liked this movie a lot, but understand how others can find it boring considering an adventure about Apollo 11 and space travel should be exhilarating.
