Review of The Descendants (2011) by Aaron A — 18 Mar 2013
George Clooney stars as Matt King who is trying to bring his family together after his wife goes into a deep coma whilst at the same time negotiating an important business deal with other members of the family.
Sky Movies described this a comedy drama but I disagree as funny moments were few and far between and I think the film was always intended as a drama as the story is saddening and rather depressing. Although Clooney delivered a decent performance, this film didnt grab me and at times it struggled to keep my interest.
Didnt live up to expectations and to be honest I think this is overrated AND I think this is mainly because Clooney is the lead actor.
