Eerste lovende reacties en tweede trailer 'First Man'
De film over Neil Armstrong met Ryan Gosling.
Peter Bradshaw van The Guardian geeft de film vier sterren en noemt het een "mostly soaring, occassionally staid drama."
Robbie Collin van concurrent de Daily Telegraph tweette dit erover:
Here's my review of First Man, the best film to open Venice in which a star of Murder by Numbers uses space travel as a metaphor for parental grief since Gravity: https://t.co/ZSaoJaPHdD #Venezia75

Hun Belgische collega Lieven Trio was nog lovender:
Word is out: Damien Chazelle lanceert zichzelf (en Ryan Gosling) gegarandeerd opnieuw richting #Oscars met Neil Armstrong-biopic #FirstMan. Geweldige opener voor #Venezia75. https://t.co/7Y3eoKqv08 @demorgen

Net zoals Leonardo Goi van The Film Stage:
FIRST MAN is nothing short of extraordinary. Builds on Chazelle's flair for determined, goal-driven heroes, but conjures up a refreshingly more fragile one in a terrific Gosling. My review from #Venezia75 for @TheFilmStage https://t.co/Fqwd1RoU6h

Daarnaast is er niet alleen lof voor de regisseur en de hoofdrolspeler:
FIRST MAN has one of my favorite rosters of male supporting actors in a long time. Clarke, Hinds, Whigham, Chandler, Abbott, Stoll, Schreiber. It's like Christmas in a shuttle for me, love those guys. I'm also glad I saw a fierce Claire Foy make them look like boys. #Venezia75

Hoewel de lof (uiteraard) niet unaniem was:
But... as I've heard others say, I was waiting for it to end the whole time lol. Completely unmotivated storyline. Basically, yes, it was a good film. Will I go around telling people they should watch it? No
