First Man

Chazelle - 8.5/10

by This Is My Review

Maybe my expectations were too high... but the most anticipated film of the year couldn’t give me what I hoped for, especially in it’s third act. It’s Neil Armstrong’s story so it’s really interesting and Chazelle managed to make every scene look like a beautiful photograph, not to forget the great performance by Ryan Gosling, he’s playing a totally different character and one specific scene in the beginning was amazing. But I have to say that the movie couldn’t get me attached to the main characters, and maybe that’s intentional, they wanted to focus on the human side of the story more than the event itself. But I felt that it was too long and the preparation sequences took all our attention so when the real mission began it lacked emotions and sympathy for the characters. Don’t get me wrong, “First Man” is a great film and will be nominated for many Oscars... but I couldn’t enjoy it to the max.
