I thought this movie was very good. It had so much inspiration, spirit, beautiful scenery, and Hillary Swank's acting was superb. You always saw Amelia, never Hillary. It had that old movie feeling. Of course it would have been nice to... Full review

a rural Kansas girl, coltish, dreamy, physically fearless, Amelia starts stunt flying in her twenties....At this point, the picture fails to break new ground in the air.....The movie is candid about Putnam's mercenary interest in Earhart....Nair's direction in general lacks rhythm and urgency-the characters talk to each other placidly, in semiformal complete sentences..... ...
