CRITIC REVIEWS FOR FIRST MAN

• “With the visual veracity of a documentary, Damien Chazelle's superb chronicle of the Space Race that lead to the 1969 Moon landing is a sterling work that goes to extraordinary lengths highlighting the risks these crazy-brave men took.”- Jim Schembri, 3AW
• “Chazelle and Singer have created a grueling, prosaic, state-of-the-art docudrama (no imagination allowed) with the heart of a male weepie.”- Michael Sragow, Film Comment Magazine
• “On the back of the remarkable one-two jazz combo of Whiplash and La La Land, (Chazelle) has aimed for the heavens and scored a rare hat-trick.”- Matt Neal, ABC Radio (Australia)
• “It's a movie where the technique matches the ambition, one that moves from tragedy to grandeur to personal drama without becoming bombastic or even worse, falsely patriotic.”- Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald
• “Most movies aim to take us out of ourselves. This one goes to majestic extremes.”- Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
• “When the Eagle finally lands on the moon in First Man, the picture truly soars.”-
