Review of First Man

First Man (2018)
9/10
Great Biopic!
21 October 2018
Best biopic in years. Engrossing from start to finish. Armstrong's personal life was as interesting as his space ventures. The editing of the movie was first rate. Even though the movie covered a long timespan in Armstrong's life the transitions were seamless. The photography was also outstanding. You actually felt as though you were inside the cramped capsules. I'm not a big Ryan Gosling fan but he was perfectly cast in this movie. His performance was low key just like Neil Armstrong. I think his performance is Oscar worthy. Claire Foy was also terrific as his wife. As a history of our space ventures I would rate this movie in the same category as "The Right Stuff". Hard to believe all the transpired in the film including the moon landing was about a half century ago.
