Chazelle is an adept flight commander, guiding the action with the elegance of a space dance in one scene and the intensity of a rocket launch in the next.

Really well-made, interesting, and accurate. Space fascinates me, and the Apollo 11 story is cool and there is so much to it besides three men actually going to the Moon and back.

Gosling is a masterful actor: one who never overacts and seems to truly understand the art of subtlety.

They became friends over time after working together extensively within various training programs run out of Houston Texas where they both lived - Houston being home base not just for many other key figures involved but also Mission Control itself!
