Movie Review: The Descendants

Review for the film "The Descendants" starring George Clooney, Shailene Woodley and directed by Alexander Payne. The best bit? It's up for several Oscar Nominations for this year including Best Picture, Best Actor for Clooney and Best Director.


While the trailer was not really too interesting or eye catching, you have got to see the movie and you will definitely agree with me when I say that this movie has an edge and we might be seeing THE best picture movie for 2012.

Award Winning Film "The Descendants" Intros Clooney on Parenting

Much recognized for his global humanitarian efforts as he is for his accomplishments in the entertainment industry, George Clooney delves into untapped psyche as he takes on parenting in “The Descendants” with naturally gifted young actresses Shailene Woodley and Amara Miller.  Directed by Alexander Payne best known for his work in “Sideways,” “The Descendants” is a man’s tumultuous awakening that might be awkward, comical and sometimes absurd, but nevertheless changes his concept of love, fatherhood and what it truly takes to be a man.


George Clooney stars as Matt King, a privileged Honolulu attorney from a landowning family who is compelled to reevaluate his marriage and life, while his wife lies comatose in a hospital bed following a boating accident. His mischievous daughters don’t trust him, his imperiled wife has been cheating on him and his broke cousins see him and the land trust he controls as a piggy bank.  To add insult to injury, he’s surrounded by a lush, fertile, awe-inspiring landscape that defies his inner turmoil.
