It has beautiful cinematography, a star performance that is shocking in its authenticity, a careful eye for nuance and detail and an irresistible blend of action and romance that should spell automatic success.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

Inoffensive, arcane and ultimately rather sweet, 'Amelia' is one to take your grandmother to.
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out
Rotten
Wwhy does such an exciting life make such a dull movie?
A.O. Scott, At the Movies
Rotten
Amelia is handsome yet predictable and high-minded -- not a dud, exactly, but too proper, too reserved for its swaggering subject.
David Denby, New Yorker
Rotten
It's all so glancing and superficial that the movie doesn't seem to have a present tense. It goes by like coming attractions. It is, however, a treasury of bad biopic dialogue.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
