One Paragraph Review: Up in the Air

I imagine there will be a lot of people who chose to hate on this film, being angry and impatient with its subtle honesty or frustrated with nothing blowing up and no quarrels between ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends (and no teen vampires, either!). But for those patient enough to really observe everyone in the film, Jason Reitman's desire to explore the human condition is here in full force. Up in the Air is a fantastic, flawlessly acted meditation on what it means to be "connected" with people in our modern world. This is one of those films that will have you reflecting on your life, and that of those around you, far after you leave the theater.
