Damien Chazelle's Neil Armstrong biopic First Man kicks off the Venice Film Festival today, and the reviews seem pretty strong so far (early scores have it at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and 81 on Metacritic). This is definitely a better trailer than the last one, but I just can't manage to muster up much interest in this film, to tell you the truth. Not sure why exactly- maybe because I'm not the biggest Chazelle fan (didn't like La La Land or Whiplash all that much). I'm glad it appears to be good, and I'll certainly see it, but the whole subject matter leaves me cold for some reason.
