First Man - Avis

Chazelle is an adept flight commander, guiding the action with the elegance of a space dance in one scene and the intensity of a rocket launch in the next.

Chazelle tells Armstrong’s story with certainty and verve.

Chazelle’s film is tense and gritty; a claustrophobic, in-your-face, thrilling mad dash to history, while also acting as a cerebral study in carrying grief.

...a stunning cinematic achievement that celebrates one of humanity’s biggest triumphs... ...yet it never loses sight of its personal and small-scale story about a man going to work.

...Gosling, always a man of quiet moments, has never been more elegantly subtle, communicating volumes in the buckle of a knee, or a ghost of a smile.

Gosling and Foy are magnificent in an elegantly drawn portrait of the star voyager who took that one small step.

Gosling is a masterful actor: one who never overacts and seems to truly understand the art of subtlety.

...a thoughtful character study

De undergangseksplosioner og den knasende, blændende hvidhed, der fylder lærredet, når Apollo 11 letter og ryger i kredsløb, sender ørerne med ud på stjernetogt og får dig til at gribe efter sikkerhedsbæltet.

Det er på alle måder en mesterlig film, den Oscar-vindende instruktør Damien Chazellehar skruet sammen med branchens bedste.

...befriande sakligt och ickepatriotiskt.

Den svenske stjärnfotografen Linus Sandgren fångar rymdkapplöpningen i ett nytt, naturligt ljus med en kamera som är så närgången att vi oftast bara ser Ryan Goslings ögon.

...en laddad och vacker film om drömmar, kärlek, sorg och försoning.

Særligt lydbilledet med skiftevis stilhed og larm er med til at fremmane en verden, hvor mænd vil gå i døden for at udforske stjernehvælvingens hemmeligheder.

...helt enkelt en riktigt bra film gjord av en regissör i högform.
