I had a lot of high expectations for this movie because of all the film festival hype but was disappointed. Shailene Woodly definitely has a break out role but an Oscar for George or Alexander (director)? I don't think so.
Could be Clooney's best performance to date. He plays the role of a hero with sincerity and integrity. Outstanding acting by all. A serious drama, punctuated with comedic moments. Overall, an uplifting movie.
looks good,it;s on my list of movies to see
One of better Cloney's role. Well done.
This is a well written movie. The plot is absorbing. George Clooney was a bit disappointing but the actresses for his daughters were superb.
disappointing despite the buildup
Another gem from Payne, complimented by Clooney's performance.
The Descendants is a drama/comedy film that is very entertaining and the characters felt very real. The actresses who played George Clooney's daughters were especially good and Mr.Clooney wasn't too bad either! Not neccessarily his best movie, but it is pretty darn good.
George Clooney & the picture deserve an award...very sad, funny & has good believable characters.
Not a bad story!
