  I thought this was interesting with a good cast, but couldn't fully get a handle on it.

  First Man 2018

  ★★★ Watched 17 Apr 2021

  I didn't think it was a bad film by any means, but found the whole thing a bit...hollow and somehow the Hollywood treatment took away, rather than added to, one of the most significant events of the 20th century.

  What was this film trying to tell us or show us? The life of Neil Armstrong? Not sure we learned much. The story of the moon landing? Surely we all knew that already. Ryan Gosling should have been a good choice…
