The Aviator (2004) short review

Kendra May 7, 2004

2004 The Aviator

Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Howard Hughes, the movie producer and aviation pioneer.  On the one hand, this reads as a standard biopic, although well done (directed by Scorcese) and interesting. But much more importantly:  THE COSTUMES!  THE HAIR! THE SHOES!  HELLO!  So so so gorgeous, especially Cate Blanchett in an Oscar-worthy performance as Katharine Hepburn and Kate Beckinsale slightly miscast but still gorgeous as Ava Gardner.  Go.  Watch.  Now.
