Two Big Thumbs Up In The Air!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2010)

Jason Reitmen creates History in 'Up In The Air', if this doesn't make up in the 'All-Time Best Of Hollywood', than I am ashamed to be a Cinema Fan.
An adaptation of the 2001 novel by the same name, by Walter Kim, Reitmen and fellow- writer Sheldon Turners adapt it like wow! 'Up In The Air' is a film I enjoyed and as a die-hard Cinema-Fan, I am more than happy. It's a simple story told in the neatest manner ever! A film where words like 'Hiccups' or 'Minuses' don't exist. An Outstandingly Outstanding Film in all respects!
Reitmen's direction is as good as it can be. He's a genius & his legendary body of work proves that. He's amongst the Best Storytellers today. Cinematography by Eric Steelburg is excellent. The music is amazing, 'Help Yourself' is an enlightening song!
Acting wise, George Clooney is fantastic as Ryan Bingham. Playing a off-beat character with rare ease and understanding. Clooney is one of the few Star-Actors of Hollywood. Vera Farmiga is fabulous as usual. She's so so natural in all her films, she'll surely win an Academy Award soon. Anna Kendrick springs a surprise, she's flawless. Watch her in the sequence when starts to sob in a hotel reception, it's exemplary. Jason Bateman is good. Zach Galifianakis is mind-blowing in a cameo appearance. Sam Elliot does his usual bit in a that lone scene he gets. Others are perfect in their parts.
'Up In The Air' is a Masterpiece by all means, it's amongst the Best Ever Seen In Cinema! As my headline says, Two Big Thumbs Up In The Air!!
