The Descendants Review

Watched The Descendants starring George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Judy Greer, Matthew Lillard and Beau Bridges. I thought the film was amazing and a very well made film. The film features some fantastic acting from Clooney which was very superb, while Shailene Woodley in particular comes out of nowhere and steals every scenes very effortlessly. The film does a beautiful accomplishment is its melding of humor and dark cynicism into a fascinating, realistic portrayal of humanity in general. Director/co-writer Alexander Payne did such an incredible job in managing to make the film to be cynical and sweet at the same time and filming every nice scenery of Hawaii very beautifully scene by scene. I thought the characters and story was wonderful and real. the character development and the story itself are well structured and beautifully well written. I just thought the film was just a masterpiece, honest , and very emotional of the exploration of death, adultery, and parental responsibility. I will give it an A++++.
