A biopic devoted to legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart, Mira Nair’s “Amelia” doesn’t entirely veer away from the grandeur and spectacle befitting the historic figure, but it concentrates more on her romances and flawed adult life. Hilary Swank agreeably portrays pioneering Earhart, a determined aviatrix who’s torn between two smitten men (Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor). “Amelia” hovers rather slowly; while the titular character’s personal life isn’t told engrossingly enough, depictions of her achievements, and the events leading to her mysterious fate, are the few times when the movie truly soars.
“Amelia” opens today in Metro Manila.
