Great

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2020)

With a fantastically executed story, some great direction, and some wonderful performances from Clooney and many alike, Up in the Air proves to be more than what could have been a simple dramedy film and achieves the high goals it needs on nearly every level. The script is mapped out beautifully, with such definition and complexities for each character, you can't help but feel at least a little bit for everyone, and with the story's journey throughout- its so incredibly entertaining it will simply feel too good to be true at times. Clooney is fantastic as Ryan Bingham and brings his total A-game to capturing this performance in the most human way possible. Other standouts include, but are not limited to, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick, who also prove their acting skills to unforeseen heights before. The film is quite funny at times, but never at times where it feels too forced or out of place, the timing seems perfect. The pacing feels this way as well, and the emotion conveyed is almost stunningly perfect. In the end, Up in the Air is truly one of the best films of the 2000's and displays the best of all talents involved.
My Rating: 10/10
