Ben Affleck directs a wonderful film which is earnest, self aware and a crowd pleaser. Air has colorful cinematography, good one liners, constant highs and lows to keep the balance, an underdog rising to the top, a brief look at the marketing department in the sports Industry and finally the inspirational monologue from our protagonist. Basically it sticks to the basics and that's why it works.
Matt Damon carries his Ford vs Ferrari energy and plays the role of Sonny without any struggle. When biopics today are full of forced transformations, over the top acting, bad prosthetics and Oscar bait to the core. Air gives us a lesson on how it to make it actually enjoyable and tell a true story.
