Up in the Air
(2009)
Jason Reitman follows up Juno with a film that is both deeper and more mature, and yet still retains the biting dialogue and humour we have come to expect of his productions. Coupled with Clooney at perhaps his best and Reitman’s ability to portray female characters as intelligent, we have one of the best films of the year. It’s a long way from perfect, but the way it taps into the social milieu makes it a must see of contemporary cinema.
