Review of First Man (2018) by Johann M — 15 Dec 2018
Based on the biography written by James R. Hansen, this engrossing movie is about the life of the astronaut, Neil Armstrong, and the legendary space mission Apollo 11 that led him to become the first man to walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969.
Damien Chazelle proves to be one of the best directors of his generation, accompanied by the talented actors Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy who deliver some extraordinary dramatic performances. The immersive Moon landing sequence is extraordinary and staggering and I loved Justin Hurwitz' beautiful score that sounds ethereal with that theremin.
Best of luck at the awards' season!
