The fans and critics have spoken. “AIR” is a real winner.
“AIR,” directed by Ben Affleck and featuring a star-studded cast led by Matt Damon, closed out the South by Southwest Festival to a wild standing ovation and rave reviews by critics.
Called a “slam dunk” by critics, it was also hailed as “this Generation’s ‘Jerry Maguire’” by Variety.
The film’s cast was also widely praised for their “powerful and award-winning performance” in what Indiewire called “ultimately one of the best sports movies ever made.”
“This is a movie that is made to inspire people, to make them feel good in a way that Michael Jordan is inspiring to the world,” said Affleck.
