In the view of New Yorker critic Anthony Lane, "the tension between the bleak and the blithe" in Up In The Air "is sustained by director-writer Jason Reitman to the end. Airports are the seedbed for all that is most alien, angering, and atomized in our twenty-first-century days, and there are times, in this film, when George Clooney's eyes appear to glaze and say, Come die with me."

This very canny, superficially "relevant" pile of celluloid bullshit is just another dramedy that casts willfully single people as subhuman. It's not even as cutting as Daddy's "Legal Eagles."

A friend of mine was standing next to him in line at the premiere, waiting to enter the theater. George says to her, "Is it dark in here, or am I dying?" To which my friend replied, "We're all dying, George." He responded, "You know what? You're right."
