Up In The Air

Rated M
Review by David Stratton

In UP IN THE AIR, a film which taps into the effects of the recent economic downturn, GEORGE CLOONEY plays Ryan Bingham who works for a company that hires itself out to other companies who want to fire members of their staff but don’t want to do the dirty work themselves. Bingham spends 322 days a year travelling, flying with the same airline – first class of course – renting the same car, staying in the same hotel chain.

He lives out of a suitcase, and he likes it that way – it allows him to meet women like Alex, VERA FARMIGA, who lives a similar lifestyle. But then Bingham’s boss, JASON BATEMAN, hires Natalie, ANNA KENDRICK, a super-keen 23-year-old, with ideas about how to streamline the firing process – and Bingham’s life undergoes a major change.

This ultra-topical comedy from Jason Reitman, director of THANK YOU FOR SMOKING and JUNO, is clever, smart and elegantly made. CLOONEY is at the top of his form as the very controlling protagonist, and all the supporting players are perfect in their roles. The film reminded me a little of Jacques Tati’s PLAYTIME – both Reitman and Tati see the modern world as being boring – it doesn’t matter which city you’re in, the airports and the hotel rooms all look the same.

UP IN THE AIR is firmly rooted in contemporary life – and, to its great credit, it doesn’t pull its punches in the end.

Here is another “Up in the Air” review I came through:

Best movies of 2009:

They’re mixed into this smart, funny, thought-provoking look at a man who travels lightly through life, both literally and figuratively, as he helps companies fire people. Bliss for him is spending 322 days a year on the road in airports, rental cars and hotels that look exactly alike, no matter the city.

The excellent supporting cast includes Kendrick, Vera Farmiga and Jason Bateman but, best of all, it takes the screenplay road less traveled. You may think you know the destination, but it veers into slightly more dramatic and daring territory. In theaters now.

I just found this article about Anna and it was a really good one so here you go:

Most child actors burn out or fade away. At 12, Anna Kendrick earned a Tony Award nomination for Broadway’s “High Society” in 1998, becoming the third-youngest nominee after Daisy Eagan, 11 (1991, “The Secret Garden”) and Frankie Michaels, 10 (1966, “Mame”), both of whom won. While those two worthies went on to amass, respectively, few and no other credits, Kendrick has had a steady rise that finds her “Up in the Air.”

That’s the title of the serio-comic film in which George Clooney and she spar as reluctant mentor and protege in a corporate-downsizing consulting firm. The Portland, Maine, native matches Clooney blow for blow, earning a best supporting actress Golden Globe nomination and showing the talent she’s demonstrated in such disparate roles as a manipulative, high-school debater barracuda in “Rocket Science” (2007) and boy-crazy best friend Jessica in “Twilight” films.

Kendrick, now 24, spoke at the Waldorf Towers in Manhattan.
