🍿 Film Review: Air (2023)

“Air” is about the creation of Air Jordan shoes at Nike. It’s silly and corny, but very enjoyable.

Moving along at a quick, fun pace and feels a bit like an Adam McKay film at times.

This is also quite the ‘Dad film’ (another one for Matt Damon, after Ford v Ferrari).

You might have missed “Air”. But you should correct that, as it’s a great way to spend 111 minutes and very much worth a watch. It’s hard to dislike it.

Also: are you ever unsatisfied by the “where are they now” segment at the end of “based on a true story” film, when they don’t go into enough detail? Well this delivers in this department.

After “Air” you should watch:

  • The Last Dance, a documentary about Michael Jordan.
  • BlackBerry, another ‘business film’. It’s another solid film you might have missed..
