With his spouse Elizabeth on life support after a sailing accident, Hawaiian land baron Matt King takes his daughters on a journey from The island of oahu to The island of kauai to face the younger real estate agent, who was having an affair with Elizabeth prior to her accident.
Review: The Descendants is a tragic and heartfelt family drama set against a backdrop of the sights as well as sounds of modern Hawaii. The music is amazing, and the landscapes of several Hawaiian islands is definitely incredible.
George Clooney is exceptional as the dad of a family torn apart by tragedy. His character deals with unsettling secrets of his dying wife and his damaged relationships with his two troubled daughters. Forced to deal with the consequences of neglecting his loved ones, Clooney does indeed a great job taking conflicting and powerful feelings.
Shailone Woodley does a wonderful job as the rebellious older daughter, who captures the frustration as well as hurt of a teenager betrayed by her mom and also deserted by her dad. Her relationship with her dad is the center of the movie, and they gradually learn to rely on each other for help and strength in dealing with the loss of their mother/wife.
This movie has a great supporting cast that adds humanity as well as heart to the heartbreaking tale. Nick Krause stands out as the oldest daughter’s good friend, that provides a touch of wit and also perspective to the movie. His open and care free character grates on the characters at first but helps them to eventually acquire perspective on the terrible incidents.
All round, the Descendants was an excellent movie which catches the raw feelings of a family dealing with betrayal, pain, and loss and learning to draw together for love and support.
