Mira Nair’s “Amelia” biopic has a whole lot of style and grandeur, but little substance or insight into the famed aviator’s life. This is especially disappointing when you have a historic figure that still captivates seventy years after her mysterious disappearance. Hilary Swank is satisfactory as Amelia Earhart, making the most of her largely subpar dialogue. The story ignores her youth completely and picks up her life just before her first transatlantic flight....

Bryan Tyree Henry has been working for years, and little by little, small part by small part, he has started to become a major name in Hollywood. Henry is an actor of contrasts; he can play crazy, but also soulful; loud, but introspective; fun, but menacing. All those qualities are what’s making him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. It’s also why Alfred “Paper Boi” is the perfect role for him, as he can play all those notes in the same character....
