This George Clooney film has already garnered Golden Globe Awards. It’s a strange piece which finds our hero working for an independent firing company and so he is up in the air literally, flying from state to state sacking people. He’s good at it and is shocked to see that back home in Omaha a new young female, Alex (Vera Farmiga) has come up with the idea of downsizing on Facebook. George’s character Ryan Bingham is having none of it and takes her on a road trip to meet the fired people face to face.

This is a very lonely tale about a very lonely man.
