    The Descendants

    Reviewed by

    I laughed; I cried. A subtlely, intense movie about family relationships and how they change to overcome crises and resolve complex issues. George Clooney is at his best, as his REAL portral of his fatherly role of two female daughters. In his struggle to face the challenges and ethical dilemmas awaiting him, the movie displays all the important things in life; health, love and family. And there is comedy relief to balance the sense of loss, sadness, pain, tenderness, adversity and deceit. The characters are likeable and real and a concurrent story, helps to decide the fate of the other, each one faced with great dilemmas. This real, unique family drama draws us in with each twist and turn leading us to a not so over the top climax for each concurrent story; one that is satisfying, ethical and influenced by the lessons learned in the other. The dialogue is honest, fresh and frought with humanity. It's a magnificent story of healing.
