Review of The Descendants (2011) by Patrick K — 03 Apr 2014
This Oscar-nom for 'Best Pic' packs more tragedy than a Biography Channel episode on Lindsay Lohan...all with the paradise of Hawaii as the backdrop. George Clooney deserves an Oscar for Best Actor as he balances a comatose wife, a family falling apart, and settlement bids on prime HI property.
Clooney is bland, but excellent--and says more with his expressions than his voice. For some, this movie will leave them feeling depressed long before the credits roll. But all will find the movie believable and watchable.
Grade: B.
