See on the biggest screen you can or don't see it at all

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2019)

Full credit to Damien Chazelle for not shying away from realness. The space sequences are mesmerizing, enthralling, overwhelming, sometimes nauseating, and heart-pounding. The human drama is this director's specialty. He masterfully depicts pain without it feeling like torture. He tells it as it is. Yeah, Armstrong isn't exactly a dynamo of a character, but when your task is to land on the freakin' moon without crashing, I encourage you to show me how you'd do it with more authenticity.
