Review of The Descendants (2011) by Simon G — 08 Nov 2012
When his wife is left comatose after a boating accident Matt King (Clooney) has to become the parent he's never been to his two daughters. Alexander Payne directs with a laid back hand (we are on paradise after all) giving the story time to develop at its own pace while avoiding obvious narrative cliches.
Kudos to Clooney who has never played a character with so little control over his own life.
