One Small Step For Cinema, One Giant Leap For Damien Chazelle

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2018)

Ambitious yet grounded, still yet moving, and silent yet rousing, First Man is an absolute marvel of genre filmmaking. Ingeniously directed, deftly scripted, exquisitely photographed, immaculately edited, strongly acted & evocatively scored, this powerfully melancholic, emotionally resonant & thoroughly engrossing account of Neil Armstrong's journey to becoming the first human to walk the moon is an undeniably impressive technical & storytelling feat that's accomplished enough to cement its spot amongst the best films of the year, and marks the third consecutive masterpiece from the immeasurably talented filmmaker.
That's one small step for cinema, one giant leap for Damien Chazelle.
