Vera Farmiga
This film turned out to be more then I expected. I expected grown up humor, well acted, well written and directed movie about road worries, consultants who spend their lives someplace other then home. I was expecting an expansion of the films trailer. The film is much better then the trailer suggest. Up in the Air brings to the foreground the cost of being efficient. We’ve become consumed with records and “stats” as if they accurately reflected our lives. We count how many FaceBook friends or Twitter followers we have.

I thought we signed up for the same thing… I thought our relationship was perfectly clear. You are an escape. You’re a break from our normal lives. You’re a parenthesis.” Alex Goran
We conveniently use our “staying in touch” toys to distance ourselves from the people we need to be in touch with. We’ve begun to outsource our caring to the internet and our avatars.
I really enjoyed this movie and want to see it again. It’s fun and painfully true.
