Where Up in the Air soars is in the way it captures Ryan's rhythm, the elegant precision of his comforting ritual, the smooth familiarity of his life-in-transition existence.

Director Jason Reitman brings such splendid balance and nuance to Bingham's story that you can't hate the man; indeed you end up pitying him.

From taxi to touchdown, Reitman knows how to get us to the next destination.

It's a pleasure to watch an adult American comedy that tries to deal with the real world, however much of a fantasy it carves from it.

This is a likable film, with likable actors and a breezy, pleasant pace. If you're not paying close attention, you'd almost miss that this film is a crock. But it is. It's an elegant con.

vibrantly witty and exceptionally delivered

Even though the film finally turns out to be yet another Hollywood fairy tale, at least it speaks the truth about our Great Recession.

One of the warmest and most entertaining films of this or any year, which is saying something considering it's about a man who fires people for a living.

The pitch-perfect direction by Jason Reitman perfectly balances comedy and drama.

Jason Reitman's dry, moving "comedy," based on the Walter Kirn novel, is a sly indictment of Corporate America, Marketing America and Frequent Flying America.
