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.

Særligt lydbilledet med skiftevis stilhed og larm er med til at fremmane en verden, hvor mænd vil gå i døden for at udforske stjernehvælvingens hemmeligheder.
