Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
After making huge splashes in Venice and Telluride, Oscar-winning Director Damien Chazelleâs First Man landed in Toronto earlier this week. The Film chronicles the true story of Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) and his journey towards becoming the first man to walk on the moon.
Visually, First Man is breathtaking. The attention to detail is immense, and the way the camera claustrophobically captures action inside multiple spacecrafts is truly wondrous. The Third Act scenes shot with IMAX cameras are practically jaw-dropping. The sound design is even better, with each scene sounding absolutely exquisite whether itâs a quiet scene of exposition or all hell breaking loose on a rocket soaring through space. Gosling is great as always â doing his very best playing a man of few words â and the Supporting Cast all deliver great work (although it seems like Claire Foy and Olivia Hamilton get continually shafted in favour of their male counterparts).
Beyond running a hair too long, my only major quibble with the Film is Chazelleâs overuse of shaky-cam. It makes sense in action scenes where we are being thrust into the experience, but it just becomes distracting for the likes of a family argument in a kitchen.
First Man screens on Sunday, September 9 at 2:00PM at Ontario Place Cinesphere, Monday, September 10 at 4:00PM, Elgin Theatre and 6:00PM at Roy Thomson Hall, Tuesday, September 11 at 11:00AM at Princess of Wales Theatre, Saturday, September 15 at 9:30PM at Princess of Wales Theatre and each day from Wednesday, September 12 to Sunday, September 16 at 6:00PM at Scotiabank Theatre.
Words and Photo by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
The morning after its Canadian Gala Premieres, TIFF held the Press Conference for Damien Chazelleâs First Man. In attendance were Chazelle, Stars Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy, Kyle Chandler, Corey Stoll, Patrick Fugit and Olivia Hamilton, along with Astronaut Neil Armstrongâs sons Rick and Mark Armstrong. The Film chronicles the true story of Armstrong and his journey towards becoming the first man to walk on the moon.
Having made critically acclaimed Oscar-winners Whiplash and La La Land (which won the Peopleâs Choice Award at TIFF ’16), Chazelle says he was drawn to First Man because he wanted to show âthe cost of a goal and the cost of a certain kind of ambition.â Gosling was drawn to Chazelleâs take because he felt the Film âwanted to uncover the man behind the myth.â Armstrong had said no to writers who wanted to write about his life story for years, before saying yes to Author James Hansen. Hansenâs book provided the basis for the Movie, and a framework for Chazelle and Writer Josh Singer to make the Film as thoroughly researched and authentic as possible. According to Armstrongâs sons, the man himself would be âpleased with the [final] result.â
The Cast had nothing but positive things to say about Chazelleâs process, with Foy noting that the Castâs relationships âwere seamlessâ from rehearsals to filming. Stoll said that working on the Movie was âa dream come true. I felt like a kid going to space camp.â âIt was had to relate to [Armstrongâs] genius, his heroism and his humility,â Gosling said, âBut it was an honour to be involved.â Whether the Film hits the same Oscar highs many are currently predicting is still to be determined, but the Filmâs lasting legacy may be the same as Armstrongâs own legacy. Talking about his Dad, Mark Armstrong said of the successful Apollo 11 mission that âIt inspired and motivated an entire generation to be better.â
First Man screens on Sunday, September 9 at 2:00PM at Ontario Place Cinesphere, Monday, September 10 at 4:00PM at Elgin Theatre and 6:00PM at Roy Thomson Hall, Tuesday, September 11 at 11:00AM at Princess of Wales Theatre, Saturday, September 15 at 9:30PM at Princess of Wales Theatre and each day from Wednesday, September 12 to Sunday, September 16 at 6:00PM at Scotiabank Theatre.
