The net feeling one is left with, at the end of this fast paced movie, is EMPTINESS.
Why most American movies have this underlying urban angst is an interesting question. I don’t notice this obsession with meaninglessness in movies from other countries.
George Clooney is in his elements as an urbane, suave charmer; juxtaposed with two very absorbing females, who evolve in a surprising manner. As they say, the essence of good storytelling is characters evolving in a believable and probable manner, but still managing to surprise you.
Thoughtful dialogues peppered with smart one-liners. Director Jason Reitman has sustained the successful pace and treatment of his earlier JUNO.
Like any good work of art UP IN THE AIR throws up lots of interesting questions, but doesn’t come to any conclusions.
Watch it. The movie brings up lots of thoughtful smiles, especially for George Clooney buffs.
