General impression:
Jason Reitman outdoes his previous good work (“Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking” – both good movies).”Up in the Air” deals with some harsh facts – in my opinion, realistically; life is full of thinking you know the right way to live, changing your own life philosophies, elements of distraction, derailments, illusions that seem more real than any reality before them, being wrong/right all along… and so on 🙂

Highlights:
Well built, good story, appropriate acting, effective twists.

Downside:
Not much color; it’s maybe just a tad too dry for my taste, but not enough to make me dislike it.

Would I see it again? – Not soon, but yes, I would

My Rating (1 to 10): 8

Recommended: Yes
