Movie: First Man Empty

The editing and camera work and music in a film should never detract from the story being told.

One assumes the director thinks he is some sort of auteur, because the choices made in this movie absolutely SWAMPED any attempt at storytelling.  There was not a scene without shaky handheld camera (even the calm ones on the ground).  Shaking the camera should never substitute for building sets. There was not a scene which was lit conventionally.  There were long stretches where a full screen closeup of some actor was held for a long time for no reason. There was not a music queue which added to the movie rather than drawing attention to itself (and not in a good way).

Apollo 13, now that was a good movie.

Ryan Gosling gets some sort of Keanu Reeves award for wooden acting, too.

How many times did they point a camera at the moon through the blowing clouds, as Neil Armstrong contemplated his life?  Six?  Seven?
