First Man
The best thing about being the first man on the moon is finally getting to take a dump in peace.
Fortunately, this drama doesn't depict any astronauts popping squats in craters.
Following the death of his daughter, test pilot Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) joins NASA's mission to put a man on the moon before the Russians. Along with Deke Slayton (Kyle Chandler) and Buzz Aldrin (Corey Stoll), Neil trains his body for the suicide mission. Meanwhile his wife (Claire Foy) worries about her husband's coldhearted approach to never seeing his family again.
Beautifully shot with a haunting score and stoic acting from Gosling, this meditation on the first man on the moon may be a fine character study of the no-nonsense astronaut but it is also a very slow moving one at that.
Incidentally, Vladimir Putin wants to put the first women on the moon by imprisoning Pussy Riot there. Yellow Light
