Actors: George Clooney, Vera Farmiga
Director: Jason Reitman
Up In The Air, and this may sound absurd, could have been a really great film. It has a solid hook, it's ostensibly about Our Time and the way We Live and Should We Go On Living This Way, but unfortunately it suffers from one problem: it's (probably) a big budget film. This requires the director to pander to his audience - what could have been a film that explores one man's story and at the same time suggests all of our stories is instead bracketed with footage of real-life people discussing how it is to live in Our Time.
My high praise for the film is that even though it is populated with archetypes, those archetypes felt 'true'.
