Lost in Translation

Promise me, no matter how hopeless things get, keep on trying, OK? Keep coming chin-up, OK?

Yes I think Lost in Translation is far closer in tone than maybe all the films in the OP's list

The movie closest to Up in the Air also deals with unemployment during the past decade. I think 'The Company Men' starring Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Costner, and Chris Cooper (among others) is underrated.

It stars Fredric March, Dana Andrews and Harold Russell as three returning vets resuming their civilian lives including job hunts.👍

Absolutely exact sense of emptiness, faulty perception and wasted life is perfectly mirrored in The Remains of the Day with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

Could not have said it better myself! Mr. Stevens is a more powerful role than Mr. Ledger.
