Amelia

 

USA 2009, 111 minutes
Dir. Mira Nair
Genres: Drama / Romance, Girl-centric

Topics: Aviation.

 

Aroview: A conventional retelling of the Amelia Earhart legend, examining the ground-breaking aviator’s turbulent love life during the years between her first transatlantic flight, and disappearance while circumnavigating the globe in 1937.

Though portrayed adequately by Hilary Swank, Earhart’s pioneering story suffers from an insipid, textbook treatment by dir. Nair, who turns in a biopic that barely gets off the ground. Something of a betrayal of the female adventurer’s spirit, Kiwi cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh’s soaring camerawork is perhaps the film’s only saving grace.
