This film takes your breath away and breaks your heart

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2018)

For the first half of First Man you feel like you are IN the rickety capsules that hurled these brave men farther into space than anyone had ever gone before. The second half of the film shows you what Neil Armstrong went through emotionally. Ryan Gosling gives a brilliant performance and Claire Foy takes charge of the film. It is brilliantly directed by Damian Chazelle and the writing is minimally, beautifully and painfully perfect. I bought James R Hanson's book. Can't wait to see this film again.
