Up in the Air

"The timing in the Clooney-Farmiga scenes is like splendid tennis, with each player surprising the other with shots but keeping the rally going to breathtaking duration."

"One-word reaction: bravo."

"Up in the Air takes the trust people once had in their jobs and pulls out the rug. It is a film for this time."

"An entertaining, smart, and classy piece of film-making."

"Up in the Air is a very good film, and a nourishing very worthy 4-star watch."

"Up in the Air makes it look easy. Not just in its casual and apparently effortless excellence, but in its ability to blend entertainment and insight, comedy and poignancy, even drama and reality, things that are difficult by themselves but a whole lot harder in combination. This film does all that and never seems to break a sweat."

"It's rare for a movie to be at once so biting and so moving. If Ryan's future seems bleak, there's something exhilarating about a movie made with such clear-eyed intelligence."

"Oscar frontrunner? Certainly. But don’t let that drag it into some tough-but-good-for-you category. This is smart, silky, sensitive, and funny old-school movie magic."
