Review of Up in the Air (2009) by Razvan Florentin P — 17 Dec 2011
Acting across the board is top notch. Anna Kendrick is the real deal. The scene stealer was Very Farmiga who's one of the best actresses working today. The scenes with her and Clooney are delightful.
Reitman is too good with tone and editing, his films are almost too neat and tidy. The big flaw of the movie is the character of Clooney. You're supposed to sympathize with him, I never did. The man never conformed a day in his life and the day he does we're supposed to have our heart strings tugged at? The only way people can care for him is because it's George Clooney playing him.
If Phil Hoffman was in this role people would barely talk about this movie.
