Comments: Wow, The Descendants was fantastic. It's touching, sad, heartwarming, funny, and best of all - real. George Clooney is great as always, giving an Oscar-caliber performance (he already won the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Drama), but I really loved Shailene Woodley's performance as Clooney's oldest daughter. She delivers the goods with being intimidated working next to the Clooney. And it also didn't hurt that I wanted to do various unspeakable things to her.
Anyway, I can't recommend The Descendants enough. I've loved Alexander Payne's films in the past (Sideways is a personal favorite), but this might be his best piece of work. Just outstanding.
