Ilan Preskovsky quote iconThis may be my least favourite of Damien Chazelle’s three films to date but, as was the case with both Whiplash and La La Land, it’s still an absolute must-see – and preferably in a cinema that would do it justice.

ScreenIt
Jim Judy quote iconWhile it might not be the first film to cover this era of the NASA program, it’s certainly the first to create such a realistic and visceral firsthand experience of what it must have been like and a showcase of the courage -- both in space and down on terra firma -- to pull it off.
