Review of First Man (2018) by Sam W — 03 Jan 2019

I've rated this film so high because I believe that everyone involved in making it put real effort into it and the result is very impressive and quite immersive. You are never pulled out of the film yet always impressed by it.

There are some great performances here from most of the cast and especially from Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy who are convincing as a couple with history and also as real independent people too.

I think one of the best things about this movie is that Damien Chazzelle has clearly matured as a filmmaker and while it may not be his strongest film it might just be his most impressive.
