The best film of 2009

Jason Reitman continues his reign over the quirky indie comedy genre with a portrait of a loner who is forced to confront his own self-sufficiency. It's a portrait that speaks to the current times, as well as to a dilemma that hit home harder for me as a recent post-grad. Clooney exudes charm and loneliness effortlessly and the film is populated with a cast of talented supporting characters. The film is raw and emotional at the right moments, and darkly funny at others.
