The Aviator is ideal for those boring afternoons in January when there's nothing on television and you're tired of sales.

Rating: 9/10 (22 September 2019)

This is reflected in the film's exquisite look. It represents the cinematic looks of the three centuries in which the tale takes place, and is a wonderful recreation of Hollywood's golden ages and aviation, all glamorous night clubs, wonderful clothes, lovely houses and sleek Art Deco-inspired aeroplanes.In the period, there is a sense of total immersion, and just how exciting and elegant this was a time. The performers mix perfectly into this globe. DiCaprio is convincing as Hughes appears in nearly every scene, maintaining our empathy even when in his screening room pissing into milk bottles, but Cate Banchett acts off the screen.Actually, she doesn't look like Kate Hepburn, but her mannerisms and vocal performance are so spot on that I forgot I didn't watch the true lady. A cast which comprises Alec Baldwin, Alan Alda, John C. Reilly, Jude Law, Ian Holm, and Kate Beckinsale supports them ably.
The Aviator is ideal for those boring afternoons in January when there's nothing on television and you're tired of sales. Empty your bladder, pick up some popcorn and sink into it.
