My wife and I went to this movie last night. I must admit that I didn't know a lot of details about Amelia's life. So I found the movie very intersting from an intellectual standpoint. The acting by Hilary Swank was exceptional. She really pulled off a remarkable appearance to the real life icon (as seen in closing credits). The cinematography and music score are Oscar nomination caliber. Considering all the subpar movies being made these days, this one is a must see for those who are curious to know the story and like an old, classic feel of a movie.
