(For examples, check out Laura Linney in Sully, Sienna Miller in American Sniper, and Robin Wright-opposite Josh Brolin, funnily enough-in Everest.) But Amanda is a fully fleshed out character. In most films of this genre, she would be reduced to the role of Concerned Wife-or in some cases, simply Concerned Wife On the Phone-with no interior life and no agency. Her husband, Eric (Josh Brolin) is the supervisor of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, an elite group of forest firefighters. Her name is Amanda Marsh and she’s played, with great depth of feeling, by Jennifer Connelly. Joseph Kosinski’s Only the Brave is, unapologetically, a film about heroic men, but I want to start by talking about one of its few female characters.
