Audience Says

Ben Affleck and a terrific cast score with Air, which is much more entertaining than any movie about a long-ago business deal has any right to be.

Air (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christina Newland iNews.co.uk Affleck’s diamond-studded comedic timing and commitment to telling a compelling story well give it oomph. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Air (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in Air is a quick-paced entertainer with glib dialogue, humour and a wonderful sense of nostalgia for the 1980s. May 30, 2023 Full Review Air (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Once you’ve made peace with those really narrow parameters, what you see on screen – ie virtually nothing of Jordan himself – kind of works. Rated: 3/5 Apr 17, 2023 Full Review Air (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews If you’re like me and think that a shoe is a shoe is a shoe ... then Air will probably come across as either painfully pretentious or hilariously melodramatic. Rated: 3/5 Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Air (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) James Preston Poole Discussing Film Gathering together an embarrassment of behind and in-front-of-the-camera talent, Ben Affleck uses earnest thematic depth and strong period detail to turn a story about a business deal into something much more poignant. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Air (2023) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) The dynamic rhythm and the accurate direction of Ben Affleck, together with the good balance between humor and emotion, produce an entertaining work. The film manages to portray in detail the period climate of the '80s, mainly thanks to its setting. Rated: 8/10 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael Great movie just an amazing story Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Maurice Love the movie. It was short and Damon gave a strong performance. The guy who was Michael was not convincing. Even though you don't see his face he did not have a strong presence and took my out of the film when he was there. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Jonathan C Based on true story.
