And the screenplay just keeps on getting better and better.

It was edited by Dana Glauberman (who also worked on Juno, another film with a very polished feel) and she does an outstanding job here. My favourite scene being the one in which Clooney is packing a suitcase, something his character has clearly done many times before! It was a super-slick and sexy slice of cinema. Hope Dana gets recognised for this!<br /><br />Really enjoying your writing style by the way, must bookmark this page....:)<br /><br />Dan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-65617035648801255722010-01-08T11:49:50.257-08:002010-01-08T11:49:50.257-08:00Thanks.

I'm a big fan of Forster's so I was glad to have an excuse to use that quote.Norma Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185179321818700556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-3178192312899151122010-01-06T08:33:37.753-08:002010-01-06T08:33:37.753-08:00That's possibly THE BEST opener for a review o...That's possibly THE BEST opener for a review of "Up in the Air" I've read in 2009 OR 2010! Way to go. I'm not a fan of E.M. Forrester, exactly, but I always liked that quote.<br /><br />I agree that Clooney has done his best work ever here. He was born for this part, but as I said in my review, he had to do some living and maturing before he was ready for it. He has fantastic chemistry with Vera Farmiga (one of my favorite actresses), and that storyline takes such an unexpected and wrenching turn that it left me speechless.M.
