First Man is an intimate biopic about Neil Armstrong, focusing on the emotional and personal costs of being the first man to walk on the moon. Damien Chazelle's film transcends the grandeur of the Apollo 11 mission by looking into the pain of loss Armstrong suffered from his daughter and the toll his career took on his family. Using elaborate details, it reconstructs space travel hazards by throwing the audience into Armstrong's adventure. That's the real poignant reminder of the human touch involved in monumental feats in science.
