The Aviator

CriticsCritics: 82
AudienceAudience: 7.4

A driven filmmaker and aviation pioneer builds an impressive career while pursuing ambitious aircraft designs and major Hollywood projects. As his success grows, so do intense fears and compulsive behaviors, placing pressure on his work, relationships, and battles with powerful business and political rivals.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy ambitious historical dramas, complex real-life figures, strong performances, and lavish period settings; Not for you if you prefer shorter, tightly focused stories with deeper introspection.
