Review of Amelia

Amelia (2009)
7/10
Strong acting let down by poor story line
23 June 2023
Starring Hilary Swank as the legendary aviator Amelia Earhart, the film tells the story of her groundbreaking career, her relationship with her husband George Putnam (Richard Gere), and her mysterious disappearance during a flight over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.

While Swank delivers a convincing performance as Earhart, the film as a whole falls short of its potential. The pacing is slow and the script lacks depth, leaving the audience feeling somewhat disconnected from the characters and their struggles.

That being said, the film's cinematography and production design are impressive, transporting the viewer to a bygone era of aviation and adventure. Overall, while Amelia may not be a perfect film, it is worth watching for Swank's performance and the stunning visuals.
