Up in the Air

Up in the Air is gorgeous and wondrous and intelligent and elegant and freshly funny and moving and exquisitely constructed and I beseech you to get off your sofa and go see it. I am so serious about this I will not only say it all over, I will say it all over in capitals followed by nine exclamation marks: GO SEE IT!!!!!!!!! Now, what more do you want me to do? Carry you to the cinema? Don’t be silly. But I will give you four more exclamation marks, a chevron and two pound signs: !!!!^££. More than this I cannot do.
Very briefly, because space, like cellulite, is always the enemy, Up in the Air is about Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), a man whose job is to fire people when companies downsize and don’t have the heart to do it themselves.
