Review of The Descendants (2011) by Peter N — 16 Oct 2012
This is one of those films that comes along and surprises the dickens out of me. George Clooney gives a searing performance, and the combination of a simple, grounded plot with the beautiful Hawaiian setting make for a smart, endearing film.
The emotional bond presented and expanded upon throughout the film draws the viewer into the family's struggles, helping us enter into their world and come to terms with their trials and successes as they do.
Wonderfully written, well-paced, and memorable.
