Small movie set and filmed in New York. Watched it on Netflix streaming.
Patrick Wilson is Will, up and coming architect who has received a fair bit of notice. His small group is working on a big project with a large firm, and for two years they have been courting each other. Will expects to sign with them.
His wife is Amy Smart is Catherine. She seems to be a good match, they have a small boy of 7. But Catherine is a bit pushy, driving forward Will's career move. It would be good for them, and would make her happy.
But Lynn Collins (of Klein High in Houston) is Kate, an independent designer, that comes on board as part of the bigger project. Kate just wants to get established, but Will is taken by her unusual outlook, and helps him see things he has never noticed before. Like the flocks of pigeons that fly about from the work site. Thus the title of the movie, "Life in Flight." The movie is not Earth-shaking, and lasts less than 90 minutes. But it is a nice story about figuring out what you really want to do. Plus we like Patrick Wilson, and don't miss any episodes of his 2011 TV series, "A Gifted Man."
Spoiler: At contract signing time Will can't go through with it, he really knows then that it isn't what he wants to do. He wants to live more, spend more time with his wife and son. But it doesn't work out that way, Catherine takes it as a personal affront that he backed out of the merger, and it breaks up their marriage. As the movie ends we see that Will and Kate have a chance to explore their mutual attractions, after she turned down a job in Los Angeles, preferring to stay in New York.
