The Aeronauts's reviews
Media reviews
Screen Daily
A thrilling, action-packed, wide-vista yarn from the sharp quills of Jack Thorne and co-writer and director Tom Harper, this Amazon-backed project is deceptively simple yet surprisingly deft.
The Hollywood Reporter
Offers tension, novelty and singular characters that should please audiences keen to sample a period piece with a difference.
The Wrap
'The Aeronauts' serves an important purpose as an aspirational film for young girls who either love science, or whose parents hope they see the movie and understand that women can be just as excited about taking a hero?s journey as any man.
The Playlist
A hodgepodge of a story that only really works when Glaisher and Wren are in the sky. And when they are it?s absolutely gorgeous.
Variety
The duo [of Redmayne and Jones] hand-in-hand elevates ['The Aeronauts'] ... from a flimsy action-adventure to something worth watching on the biggest possible screen, even if it operates on a handful of clichés with little character-based substance to speak of.
Indiewire
There?s enough potential with the balloon?s feats to justify an entire feature-length experience set within its basket, but 'The Aeronauts' constantly interrupts the journey to shoehorn random tangents on the ground, and busies up the drama with underdeveloped side characters.
The Guardian
It is a film with charm and the chemistry between Jones and Redmayne has something rather platonic and even sibling-like, but that isn?t to say there isn?t a spark of sorts.
