From member Brandon Fibbs:
Of every film that came out this year, I didn’t see a single one more assured, more confident, more utterly comfortable in its own skin than Up in the Air. I didn’t see one with characters who inhabited roles that felt more convincingly lived in, or a story more apropos to life as you and I live it. From the moment it lifts off to the moment it touches down, “Up in the Air” positively soars.
It’s easy to admire Ryan Bingham (George Clooney)—to be in awe of him even—without wanting to be him. Ryan, who works as a cooperate downsizer, has a routine that is simply breathtaking. The ultimate business traveler, Ryan lives his life in an air/hotel/rental car trifecta. Those things about airports you and I hate, he finds reassuring and familiar.
