GREAT movie, just incredibly depressing

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2018)

Up In The Air's actors did a fantastic job of conveying the joys and pains of their characters, and they and the writers also did a fantastic job of realistically portraying life.
Spoiler alert: if you are at all empathetic (this especially applies to those of us with high-functioning autism), and/or tend towards depression, do NOT watch this movie.
Many scenes in Up In The Air are depressing, and the end of the movie is EXTREMELY depressing. Just when the movie has lifted the viewer out of the depth of sadness into which it dragged us, it throws us down into deeper sadness, and extreme disgust of (& anger re) human behaviour. Up In The Air is a truly depressing movie; I think that it wins as having the saddest ending of any non-documentary movie which I have ever watched.
