The Hollywood Reporter
Most of all, Earhart wanted to be able to fly free as a bird above the clouds, and director Nair and star Swank make her quest not only understandable but truly impressive. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
A perfectly sound biopic, well directed and acted, about an admirable woman. It confirmed for me Earhart's courage -- not only in flying, but in insisting on living her life outside the conventions of her time for well-behaved females. The next generation of American women grew up in her slipstream. - 63
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The actress and the aviatrix are a match made in heaven, but surrounding the soaring performance is a movie that's mostly earthbound. - 63
Miami Herald
In an ironic twist, Mira Nair's big-hearted yet by-the-numbers biopic of Amelia Earhart never -- unlike the famous aviatrix -- takes chances. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
A frustratingly old-school, Hollywood-style, inspirational biopic about Amelia Earhart that doesn't trust a viewer's independent assessment of the famous woman pictured on the screen. - 40
Time Out
There’s nothing more boring than a life embalmed with halfhearted Hollywood bombast, which only makes the film’s fleeting pleasures stand out all the more. - 30
Variety
What rankles most about Amelia is the timidity and lack of imagination with which Nair approaches one of America's most exceptional and intriguing celebrity life stories. - 30
L.A. Weekly
Drawn from two Earhart bios, Mira Nair’s dull hagiography comes in about 111 minutes too long.
