It was a real delight

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2010)

Up in the Air follows the life of Ryan Bingham, a corporate hatchet who loves his life on the road. His job consists in traveling all across the country firing people and in the meantime meeting good looking and collecting frequent flyer miles. Directed by Jason Reitman, he takes us into a journey of a self examination of life, human relations and all of its consequences. It is like a mix of road movie with comedy and drama with a story that captivates, a plot perfectly developed, various locations with beautiful landscapes and a soundtrack you really enjoy throughout the movie. The movie has a slow paced rhythm but that doesn't mean it turns out to be a boring movie, in fact it keeps you interested for almost 2 hours. The cast is wonderful, George Clooney is excellent, Vera Farmiga is simply flawless an Anna Kendrick is pretty convincing. The Only thing I regret a little from the movie is the ending, I felt a bit disappointed but also I think that the way it ends gives the movie a more realistic point of view. In conclusion, Up in the Air is enjoyable, entertaining and very recommendable.
