Mira Nair’s biopic of groundbreaking aviator Amelia Earhart has many components working in its favor. It’s got Oscar-winner Hilary Swank in the title role, supporting performances from Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor, cinematography that ranges from elegant to breathtaking, and a ...

jonk heap
“Flying lets me move in three dimensions,” she says early on. Well, so does standing on an escalator and scooching over to get out of someone else’s way. But flying is supposed to be more exciting than that. So it’s strange that the first few stolid scenes of “Amelia” suggest otherwise.

Cinema Soldier
"Amelia" isn't going to break any box office awards this weekend. When I saw it Thursday at midnight, my friend and I were the absolute only two people in the theater. Everyone else was seeing "Saw VI" and "Paranormal Activity." It was kind of fun since I could be loud and obnoxious the ...

We Are Movie Geeks
AMELIA is the much anticipated film of the pioneering aviatrix, Amelia Earhart, who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. This new, historical biopic from director Mira Nair (THE NAMESAKE, VANITY FAIR), stars two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank as the legendary pilot (she ...
Review: Amelia —
The Hot Blog
I take no joy in participating in the disappearance of Amelia . I like Mira Nair and her work. Even though she is the most surprising 2-time-Oscar-winner in history, Hilary Swank seemed to be once again well cast for an oddball role. And really, Richard Gere was a pretty good call too, though ...

Filmonic
If I were to give you a quiz on Amelia Earhart right now, how well would you do? Probably not so well, unless you are a female pilot or someone interested in the pop culture of the early 20th Century. Everyone knows Earhart disappears during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe, probably ...

Amelia Earhart, the pioneering aviator who was lost over the Pacific, is given the big Hollywood biopic treatment in a curiously retro film that feels like it was intended for Katherine Hepburn or Susan Hayward. It is not the 1930's...
