The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
It's rare for a movie to be at once so biting and so moving. If Ryan's future seems bleak, there's something exhilarating about a movie made with such clear-eyed intelligence.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Up in the Air is light and dark, hilarious and tragic, romantic and real. It's everything that Hollywood has forgotten how to do; we're blessed that Jason Reitman has remembered

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Up in the Air takes the trust people once had in their jobs and pulls out the rug. It is a film for this time.

Variety - Todd McCarthy
The timing in the Clooney-Farmiga scenes is like splendid tennis, with each player surprising the other with shots but keeping the rally going to breathtaking duration.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Up in the Air is poised to be a smash, and Clooney--slim, dark, perfectly tailored--glamorizes insincerity in a way that makes you want to go out and lie.
