Directed by Ben Affleck, 'Air' tracks Nike’s efforts to secure a partnership with a 21-year-old Michael Jordan in 1984, when Jordan was still a rookie and the sportswear giant was nearly bankrupt.
Often, Hollywood fumbles with films and television shows about fashion. Two of the most recent and memorable contributions to the canon, Ridley Scott’s filmwere less about the creation and sale of clothes than the tragic, tabloid-y lives of their subjects. Both works received mixed reviews., directed by and starring Ben Affleck, comes another attempt.
That’s why, for me, the film’s chief payoff came in Davis’s performance. When the real-life Michael Jordan spoke with the team behind, he had only one request: that Davis play his mom. The casting more than works. Davis—who has a knack for bold, protective maternal figures —fabulously nails the sober confidence necessary for delivering lines like “It won’t be the NBA marketing my son. I assure you it will be the other way around.
