‘Up in the Air’ leads Golden Globe nominations
I just watched Up in the Air over the weekend. It was a great film! I loved it but somehow ended up leaving the theater more depressed than when I originally was when I went in. Ha! Because the story, although very engaging ( I didn’t miss one bit!), somehow had an undertone that being alone is sad.
The acting I thought was superb. George Clooney did good in portraying his role and even worthy of a nomination. There were no highs or lows – I pretty much felt the same throughout the whole film – - engaged.
You have to see the film though. I think it is a must-see.
