ReviewsPhiladelphia Inquirer - Clooney has never been better, subtler, more deeply rooted in a performance than he is in The Descendants. And he's funny, too., Variety - Nearly every detail sources directly back to Kaui Hart Hemmings' sensitively crafted novel, and yet, Payne's triumph is in striking the right tone -- and knowing what to leave unsaid., Wall Street Journal - Rarely has a contemporary movie taken in so much life and revealed it with such depth of feeling., Washington Post - A pitch-perfect movie that threads a microscopically tiny needle between high comedy and devastating drama., Hollywood Reporter - After a five-year wait since "Sideways," Alexander Payne has made his best film yet with The DESCENDANTS. Ostensibly a study of loss and coping with a tragic situation, this wonderfully nuanced look at a father and two daughters dealing with the imminent death of his wife and their mother turns the miraculous trick of possibly being even funnier than it is moving., Salon.com - THE DESCENDANTS is gentle, witty, audience-friendly entertainment for grown-ups, with a great performance by one of our biggest screen stars., Boxoffice Magazine - THE DESCENDANTS is that rare bird, moving, enlightening, funny and unapologetically human. It's one of the year's best pictures, one to savor and think about.
