After watching Jason Reitmans wonderful Up In The Air, I kept trying to put a label on the movie. Is UITA the first post-post-9/11 movie? Or maybe its a charming end-cap on the less-than-sweet aughts decade? Then again, perhaps its the first real film of the economically depressed Age of Obama? Any way you tag it, UITA is just terrific, a perceptive look at how we live now with a winning script, keen direction and three pitch-perfect performances all of which seem destined for Oscar.
