I do not know the book inspiring the film. But the film is real seductive for the fresh honesty. For the performance of George Clooney. For atmosphere and for the realism of the clash between generations. The delicate humor, the nice performances, the story are few virtues defining a beautiful film about family, death, secrets, courage, reconciliation with yourself, new beginning and duty. So, a beautiful film.

I love the freedom oozing from Alexander Payne's films. The clarity and simplicity of the idea and its execution. All the answers and unity found under a grieving cloud. George Clooney's Matt King is, quite simply, superb. The humanity of the man mingling with his contradictions. So refreshing to spend time with this immediately recognizable man. I couldn't help but loving him. If it's true that Clooney dominates the film, he is surrounded by compelling characters. His eldest daughter, played by the remarkable Shailene Woodley for instance or her boyfriend, a winning Nick Krause, contribute to make "The Descendants" one of the best films of 2011.

I am watching this movie already for 10years and I still love it. Great Story and actors and the director knew what he was doing that resulted in one of the best movies back then and ever ,,,, Really love ALL the actors .. they are all play so well... if you are not a total knucklehead please watch it !
