Chazelle and Gosling round 2

Rating: 8/10 (27 October 2018)

If you're going into First Man wanting to see a cool story about the Apollo 11 moon landing, you will be disappointed in this film.
This is a brilliant, almost documentary style film about the life of Neil Armstrong. He experienced a lot of tragedy, which evolved him into a quiet man who chooses to keep his emotions bottled up, rather than opening up with friends and/or family.
Ryan Gosling displays this with subtle acting in his dialog and emotions and the outcome is incredible to see.
Gosling's terrific performance, along with Chazelle's remarkable eye behind the camera (as expected), makes for a very good film that you can expect to see nominated this Oscar season.
