Air Ratings & Reviews
Consequence
Liz Shannon Miller
As much as we can talk about the thematic resonance of Air, its impact is dependent on your personal connection to Michael Jordan. It's like going to church as an atheist - you might be able to follow the story, but its meaning is lost.
Slate
Jack Hamilton
Air is thoroughly entertaining, even if it never really maximizes its alluring potential.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Nostalgia is the only reason I can think of to explain why old friends Ben Affleck and Matt Damon reteamed for a movie that so artlessly sets out to make us love shoe company Nike for buttering up a college hoops star better than Adidas or Converse.
NPR
Bob Mondello
"Air" is effortlessly entertaining, but it wants to be about more than just the marketing triumph of an underdog shoe company.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Air mainly takes place in drab offices, yet the cast's expert performances transform those spaces much in the same way that Michael Jordan transformed courts and sneaker racks -- by turning them into sites of magic.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
It's a feel-good fable for a culture that doesn't know how not to win, and it's going to be huge.

Dwight Brown
Affleck, the cast, crew and script put you in a time capsule and take you back to the '80s.
Chicago Reader
Maxwell Rabb
Affleck's return to the director's chair is an exceptional success, stimulated by its script and cast.
ABC News
Peter Travers
Director Ben Affleck slam dunks a film about a basketball sneaker (the Air Jordan) and it's the first all-star Oscar contender of 2023, an outrageously entertaining classic with Affleck, Matt Damon, Viola Davis and a cast of MVPs at the top of their game.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Air is great. Pitch-perfect, deeply entertaining.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's story of Nike's paradigm-shifting deal with Michael Jordan is both a great time at the theater and an odd valorization of an already all-powerful brand
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
It's another win for Affleck as a director. I had a whale of a time, despite knowing almost nothing about the subject matter.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
While much of Affleck's casting choices in Air err on the side of superb, one pivotal choice is repeatedly jarring: He doesn't cast Michael Jordan.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
The boldest thing I can say about Air is that it follows the tried-and-true underdog sports movie formula, only none of its main characters even attempt a shot much less sink the game-winner at the buzzer.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
It plays like pure television by an Aaron Sorkin disciple, and there is no reason whatsoever to see this on the big screen.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
The only problem facing Air is that people may be expecting a bigger movie. This is a modest, entertaining behind-the-scenes film about the marketing whiz who believed in Jordan when he was still a rookie
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
"Air" is a meaningful movie but an unsatisfying one.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The film wants to be a wing-ding entertainment, but it also strives to say Something Important. The first half of that equation is what makes the movie eminently worth watching.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
There's not an ounce of fat on this film's physique, and Affleck keeps the pace moving even though everything that's happening is entirely driven by the dialogue.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Affleck is a fine actor and a better-than-fine director. As an actor since childhood, his skill at selecting the right actors and allowing them to do their best is to be expected. He also has an exceptional sense of narrative structure.
