If First Man hit the spot, these will too

Common ground: space mission
The difference: Takes it somewhere less obsessive than First Man does

Epic and contemplative in the same breath
The difference: Trades the obsession of First Man for an angle of its own


One thread runs through both: obsession
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Obsessive drama, and it commits to that

Both keep coming back to the same thing: a true story
The difference: Leans harder into music than First Man does

The same hand behind both of them: Damien Chazelle

Both are built on the same subject: biography
The difference: 23 years apart, and the 1990s show

The same preoccupation in both: biography

Both are built on the same subject: a true story

Both lean on stillness more than on history

History built on scale, twice over
