A heavyhearted monologue about the misperception of paradise, an
onslaught of establishing shots of beautiful beaches, tropical
landscapes, and sunbathed mountainsides, the interior of a hospital
room as a man stands over his comatose wife. Your introduction to The
Descendants sets the tone for the whole film as an out-of-touch
father struggles to take care of his two daughters while dealing with
the fallout from his wife's boating accident. With inspired
performances from both seasoned veteran George Clooney and relative
newcomer Shailene Woodley director Alexander Payne weaves a
heartbreaking story that still manages to create an uplifting and
engaging experience.
