One Giant Leap

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2018)

Being a child of the 60s I loved this movie. But it was so much more. The performances by Clare Foy and Ryan Gosling were brilliant. The restrained calm of Neil Armstrong speaks to a different generation and to the mans training. Gosling brought Armstrongs character to life in a way that has you gasping for air. And Clare Foys portrayal of Armstrong's wife as a direct clear mind individual shows where the strength in their family lay. While we all know the story the final scene in this movie is a massive relief valve ...restrained but so impactful I was moved deeply. This should be an Academy award winner.
