Review of The Descendants (2011) by Andy K — 31 Dec 2012
When it comes to films that really and I mean really tug on those heart strings, this one does it. Directed by Alexander Payne (who I'm not familiar with until I saw this), and unknown director of our time, delivers what I can only describe as outstanding drama that deals with all of today's problems that life tends to throw at you.
George Clooney delivers a stockout performance (and got a well deserved best actor nomination too) as the struggling father having deal with his two young daughters and his wife's comatose state after a serious boating accident.
The soundtrack is exceptional and the photography, wow!!! Its just one of those little films that may or may not pass you by that really delivers. A true gem of a film!!!
