Calmly Touches Home

I've just seen the most eloquent, affecting and altogether best film of 2009...so far. Yes, better than my beloved The Hurt Locker. If it doesn't win the Best Picture Oscar next February...well, okay...I'll live. Jason Reitman will live, George Clooney will live, Paramount publicity will live, Brad Grey will live, your family and friends will live, and the sun will come up the next day.


(l. to r.) Vera Farmiga, George Clooney, Anna Kendrick in Jason Reitman's Up In The Air.

But Up In The Air really has it all -- recognizable human-scale truth, clarity, smart comfort, the right degree of restraint (i.e., knowing how not to push it), and -- this got me more than anything else -- a penetrating, almost unnerving sense of quiet.

This is one of the calmest and most unforced this-is-who-we-are, what-we-need and what-we're-all-afraid-of-in-the-workplace movies that I've ever seen. From an American, I should say. (The Europeans have almost made job-anxiety films into a genre -- i.e., Laurent Cantet's Time Out, etc.) But I would guess that Up In The Air will play very, very well in Paris. It's a film that walks and talks it and knows it every step of the way. Work, adulthood, asking the questions that matter, compassion, family, stick-your-neck-out, etc. The whole package. With an almost profound lack of Hollywood bullshit and jerk-offery. And a kind of Brokeback Mountain-y theme at the finale -- i.e., "move it or lose it."

Up In The Air doesn't tell you what to feel -- it lets you feel what it is. All the best movies do that. They don't sell or pitch -- they just lay it down on the Oriental carpet and say to the viewer, "We've got a good thing here, and if you agree, fine. And if you don't, go with God."

You know what? The hell with that attitude. If you really watch and let this movie in and then say, as a friend of a good friend said after watching it in Telluride a few days ago, "I don't know...it's nice but it's more like an okay ground-rule double than a homer," then due respect but you're the kind of person who likes candied popcorn and Strawberry Twizzlers and feel-good pills. No offense.

Variety's Todd McCarthy called it "a slickly engaging piece of lightweight existentialism." That's an unfair and inappropriate characterization. There's a difference between lightweight and having the goods and taking it easy and laying it on gradually.


The thing that puts Up In The Air over is that it's about right effin' now, which is to say the uncertain and fearful Great Recession current of 2009. Reitman has been working on it for six years, and if it had come out last September -- just as the bad news about what those greedy selfish banking bastards had done was being announced and everyone started to mutter "uh-oh" to themselves -- it wouldn't be reflecting the cultural what-have-you as much as it is now. And yet it never alludes to anything that specific. It doesn't have to.

We all know about the story by now. Ryan Bingham (Clooney) is a kind of lightweight Zen smoothie who specializes in gently firing people when their bosses are too chicken to do it themselves. He doesn't just like travelling around in business class seats and staying in nice hotels -- he relishes the sense of belonging and security that he gets from being constantly in motion and never digging into a life of his own. And it's easy to spot the arc -- i.e., will Ryan find some way to let go of skimming along and maybe go for a little soul infusion?

The basic story propellant comes from two women who represent a certain kind of change/growth/threat element -- Alex (Vera Farmiga), a fellow traveller who's an exact replica of Bingham save for her sexuality, and with whom he strikes up a nice groove-on relationship in the film's beginning, and Natalie (Anna Kendrick), a hamster-sized junor exec type who 's sold Ryan's boss (Jason Bateman) on whacking people through a video conferencing system rather than face-to-face.

But I don't want to get into the story more than that. What happens, happens for the right reasons. The main thing is that none of the developments feel the least bit ungenuine. And I will square off with anyone who says the ending isn't sufficiently "happy." Anyone who doesn't realize that Clooney is quite another man and open to the next good thing at the finale simply hasn't been paying attention.

There are many witnesses in this film a la Reds -- real-life people who've been laid off and are facing the abyss in more ways than one -- and I've already read complaints that Reitman overplays this card. I respectfully disagree. The clips appear symmetrically (i.e., at the beginning and end), and have an added weight at the finale. "Repetition" doesn't necessarily mean "repetitiously."

I'm really glad I caught Up In The Air at the beginning of the second wave -- i.e., immediately post-Telluride. By the time it comes out on 11.13.09 it'll be something else, and by that I mean the movie that snarkers will be looking to shoot down just to do that. Snarkers are so reprehensible. They pummel and flatten things down and rob them of their fresh-soil beauty.

Wow... wasn't expecting such a rave from you, Wells. (I haven't seen the movie yet, but based on most of the other reviews I've read, it's a very-good-not-great movie)

Great to hear, though -- this is probably the movie I'm most excited to see in the next few months. But good lord, I hope and pray that audiences give this movie a chance, and don't play the "looks too slow and boring" card. (I'm a little worried they might, based on your review.)

Some movies are lucky to hit at just the right time -- sounds like this is one of them. Can't wait.

Are you fucking kidding Jeff?

"You know what? The hell with that attitude.

No offense."

So aside from the purging of snark and bad attitude on Hollywood Elsewhere, the moral of the story is that you're a fucking asshole if you don't like the same bullshit corporate cliches as Mr. Jeffrey Wells. He can't take it but he sure can dish in spades.

Sorry, but I can't see a reason why a Wells endorsement isn't reason to avoid said movie altogether these days.

Wells to HE readership: This is exactly the kind of cheap snark I said a few days ago that I wouldn't tolerate any more. This is the final P.Vice posting -- he's gone.

WHITE MAN MOVIE ALERT!

Christ, could critics be any more WHITE? This sounds like straight-up Beverly Hills, Brentwood, midlife crisis, neo-Kasdan WHITE MAN shit for WHITE GUYS who ONLY TALK TO WHITE PEOPLE and have NEVER LISTENED TO HIP-HOP and have NO STREET CRED and only see movies at the Grove and the AMC Century City where they know they'll only have to sit next to other WHITE PEOPLE and then they can go to WHOLE FOODS and TRADER JOE'S afterwards while drinking iced coffee.

This is the movie that Brendan Fraser and Sandra Bullock would've just seen in CRASH.

In other words, this is KEN TURAN'S DREAM MOVIE.

Christ, Clooney, make a movie set in the barrio or in multi-ethnic Miami with glowering dudes in sunglasses firing off guns and snorting yey.

WHITE MAN MOVIE ALERT. Come on, Wells, get gangsta or some shit.

This shit is straight fucking Kasdan. Only people that'll relate to it are upper-crust NYC and Brentwood snobs who've cocooned themselves away from Emo scene kids, Filipino teenagers, vatos, hip-hop, Armenian car culture, Korean party girls, etc. etc etc.

Ie, rich white kids like Jason Reitman who wouldn't know the mean streets from a fucking slip-n-slide.

This movie is for WHITE SNOBS.

Well, I'm sure it'll do well, I'm sure it's fine, but I guarantee when I see it at the multiplex, the "popcorn munchers" will be talking and shuffling ALL THE WAY through it, as "calm" doesn't play with big crowds of everyday moviegoers.

I'm sure there are people of color in it somewhere, but probably no coincidence that shelter rich millionaire's son Reitman casts white folks in the name roles.

Unrelated, I have an AIRTIGHT theory that the only movies, good or bad, that get rewatched in future years are movies with guns and violence, or BROAD comedies. Things like this are all the rage at Oscar time then are never heard from again.

Whereas Hurt Locker will be on constant DVD loop for decades. This'll be the ACCIDENTAL TOURIST or BIG CHILL or GRAND CANYON of '09. Something that NO ONE wants to watch today.

Does Reitman film it all through butterscotch as usual?

Sadly none of you will be able to see this film. I just found out that it was directed by the same guy that directed that awful "Juno", which, as I've mentioned before, was not only the worst movie ever made, but a worse thing in general than the Holocaust, the Stalinist purges, bubonic plague and AIDS combined, and which was written by that bitch Diablo Cody who should be set on fire while being riddled with machine gun fire.
Therefore I've tracked down every copy of "Up in the Air" as well as the camera neg and set them on fire.
Forget it ever existed. Sorry.

LexG: "This is the movie that Brendan Fraser and Sandra Bullock would've just seen in CRASH."

That's hilarious. But it's probably the movie they watch, then go and tell their friends about because they're more 'with it' and want to feel more 'with it' than the rest of their friends.

I expect to enjoy the movie but can't imagine thinking its the best of the year even with my clooney love. Lex is probably right, it won't age well.

Glad you had a good movie experience even with some high expectations. Now, what about that rumored butt shot?

I just finished reading Walter Kirn's novel and highly encourage anyone interested to check it out. Thematically similiar to Joshua Ferris' AND THEN WE CAME TO THE END and Max Barry's COMPANY but better written than both. Really sharp satire with nary a word wasted.

It is interesting because just from reading the reviews and watching the trailer, it is clear that Reitman has really revamped the story. There are whole plot elements in the movie that don't exist in the book, characters are different or new, etc. But it is clear the world of airports and rental cars and hotels Kirn created and brilliantly christened "Airworld", is just the same.

None of this bothers me. Books are books and movies are movies and people that get bent out of shape when things change simply don't understand that. Change can be good.

I'm really looking forward to this movie.

The apparent backlash already brewing for this movie is amazing. It took a year to 2 years for a backlash to develop against American Beauty. 10 years later, blogs and twitter have taken it down to instantaneous. What that means for Hollywood is that you can't slow release a movie with an established talent. Sharks will eat it alive.

No offense Jeff, but you set the tone around here. Your constant snark (when you DON'T like a film) is no different from your readership's snark (when you DO like a film). I, for one, think your dismissal of Antichrist is a really snarky, superficial response to a serious, challenging film from a director who's way more intellectually sophisticated than any of us. We all know you like your adult-oriented cinema accessible -- rather than arty -- but you can't be surprised that other serious cinephiles take issue with your reverence for aggressively mainstream cinema. That's the way it goes. Some like their art arty, some like their art to be invisible and some like both.

Whatever backlashes may or may not come, this is definitely a better movie than "American Beauty," for whoever raised that as a comparison.

I wish Anna Kendrick's high-school-iness hadn't bothered me. Maybe it won't be a problem for me the second time I see the film. Other than that, not many false notes.

I am definitely not any less in love with Vera Farmiga than I was before the screening.

The Hurt Locker re-charges the war film and gives it new possibilities. Not an easy chore in such a ubiquitous genre. Those films don't come along everyday.

Thirst takes the vampire film and its stories of female predation, squares it off against the film noir, stories of male predation, and ends it in battle-of-the-sexes screwball. All the while keeping it a story about morality. Very smart and does a lot.

Do the poeple who stuck by critical polarizers like Jesse James and The New World have a right to be skeptical about an easy critic-pleaser like Up in the Air? Yeah, I think so. They also have a duty to say so, if it does.

But that's a lot of weight to pull.

The apparent backlash already brewing for this movie is amazing. It took a year to 2 years for a backlash to develop against American Beauty. Cleansing diet

George Clooney has been in some real stinkers lately. He doesn't act anymore for the money but for the project. Since Syriana, I just think he's missed the mark more than hitting it.

You know what? The hell with that attitude. If you really watch and let this movie in and then say, as a friend of a good friend said after watching it in Telluride a few days ago, "I don't know...it's nice but it's more like an okay ground-rule double than a homer," then due respect but you're the kind of person who likes candied popcorn and Strawberry Twizzlers and feel-good pills. No offense. YourNetBiz

he hasn't had as much luck as his contemporary on the Irish stage, Martin McDonagh (IN BRUGES); his two prior movies, SALTWATER and THE ACTORS (with Michael Caine), never made it here.

This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. You've got a design here that's not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what you're saying. Great job, indeed.

while natal seems cool and evden eve nakliyat all , why rename xbox 360 to xbox natal ? seems pretty dumb to me. they should just call the package natal like the elite package you can get.evden eve nakliyat if they are making a new evden eve nakliyat console it should play blu-rays. and if natal is as big as a console release does that mean it will get a console price? so i'm guessing we can expect natal to be any where from 150-300$

While working on my herbal colon cleanse and fish oil websites, I got a call from a friend who reminded me about my earlier posting about Clooney. I just watched Men Who Stare at Goats. I really liked it but it wasn't a good film in terms of comparison. Clooney has been one of my favorite actors for years and I loved his character in the Ocean series (11-13) but he's been in some questionable films lately.

This is indeed one of the best movies I've seen in a while and it came up right when I was giving up on the idea of a really good film being made in Hollywood. It's very relaxing and very easy to follow and to absorb.
