Amelia Movie Reviews

Amelia is a 2009 biographical movie about the life of Amelia Earhart, the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic ocean. Hilary Swank acts as Amelia and Richard Gere acts as her husband George P. Putnam. In 1937 Amelia Earhart set off for a solo flight around the world and she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Hilary Swank came to Jay Leno show on October 22, 2009 to promote the movie.

Nair did a wonderful job of taking the highlights of Amelia Earhart’s career and putting them on screen. http://www.desihits.com/blog/article/movie-review-mira-nairs-amelia-20091016

The classically structured bio will appeal to grown-ups, history buffs and lovers of aeronautics, but in showing how the flier was one of the most lauded celebrities of her time, it also might appeal to youngsters. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/amelia-film-review-1004023274.story

I still feel, after seeing Amelia, that I don't know much about her personally, even though that was the film's obvious goal by concentrating on the relationships with her publisher/husband and her lover Gene Vidal. http://movies.about.com/od/amelia/fr/amelia-review.htm
