    Fly away

    This apparently is based on a true person - but is quite free with the interpretation of what actually happened. So while I wouldn't know what actually went down and how much freedom this took and .. flew away with (no pun intended), I can say that the movie tells quite the intriguing story.

    And it doesn't just work as a female empowerment piece. This is a movie about following your dream(s). And who can not relate to that? Exactly - suspend your disbelief and just spread your wings... don't do that, you need an airplane, otherwise this doesn't work. And even then, best is to have a pilot - unless you are one yourself always quite important. As you will see in the movie too in more than one scene.
