Me: Yeah, because people randomly breaking into song in other musicals is totally realistic.
Annette is like an album that has awesome cover art and no good tunes.
Seriously, a modern opera without any decent songs? Not for me, thanks.
I give it an A for Ambition (and also for Adam Driver, who looked and acted amazing), but the rest of the film flounders like a gorgeous yacht in a storm of awkward.
Like eating adult cereal when you're a teen and sad there isn't a prize in the box.
Okay, what the f? How did they pull this brilliant piece of cinema off? I am your standard hater of Disney live-action and I am pleasantly surprised they made me enjoy a Cruella origin film. Wtf. I want that little dog Wink. What a boss.
So wonderful! Maggie Smith is even funnier in reality than on Downton. LOVED this doco.
I ended up enjoying this way more than I though I would have.
After "Whiplash" and "La La Land", two great music themed movies, I confess I had my doubts if Damien Chazelle could do a simple drama biopic but, he clearly did.
Technically speaking, the "First Man" is outstanding. The sound syncs masterfully with the beautiful images we get through the whole movie. Great soundtrack and an amazing use of aspect ratio, making it very immersive.
Also, Ryan Gosling proves, once again, how captivating he is. A really mature actor that's pretty much filling his career with great and memorable interpretations.
It could have had more deep dialogs and exploration of characters, specially Claire Foy's character, but, I ended up leaving the movie theater pleased.
It's a very straightforward story done it right.
