Up in the Air Review

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2019)

If this review had been written 2/3 through the movie, it would basically consist of compliments and the movie would have received 9 stars, but the last third is weak. The main idea of the movie is original and the cast works; but what's the difference between the Ryan from the beginning and the one at end of the movie? None. Okay, he hit his mileage goal, and helped Natalie with a new job. But beyond that, I see no change. Besides, was it just me who expected something else between Natalie and Dave ?! He seemed to fulfill all the prerequisites cited by her minutes before the scene where they met. I can't complain about everything too. Anna Kendrick deserves credit for her character, she is probably the best, and not by chance this earned her an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.
