New Review For Movie The Descendants
The Descendants is humane, decent, and close to real quality.
David Thomson-The New Republic Payne is an unobtrusive director, a filmmaker who lets the script do the walking - in this case, perhaps too much.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out One of the year's best films, a bubbly meditation on family and responsibility that weighs just enough to matter.
Tom Long-Detroit News In the hands of writer-director Alexander Payne, Clooney has rarely seemed so much at home.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald In playing an everyman stranded between anger and duty, Clooney earns an emotional payoff that a lesser actor would simply demand.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch With so many balls in the air the temptation is to rush from one plot strand to another, but Payne takes the opposite approach. He also captures the complexity of emotional reactions that grief stirs.
Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic A truthful, warm-hearted, deeply moving film about loss, about death, about legacies and, yeah, family.
Will Leitch-Deadspin People looking for a good lei would be wise to say aloha to 'The Descendants,' Alexander Payne's Hawaiian-set luau in which laughter and tears combine for a cinematic feast.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger A beautifully touching, tragic and amusing follow-up film from the director of Sideways.
Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground The Descendants manages to even surpass those stratospheric expectations most fans will have walking into the theatre.
Kristal Cooper-We Got This Covered Like "Sideways" and "About Schmidt," "The Descendants" lets Alexander Payne show us the Other America and the Other Americans - little lives caught up in small but epic problems far away from the La La Land of Hollywood hype, sex and violence.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service Each year there are usually one or two films that don't deserve all of the insane praise they get (last year's The Fighter is a prime example) and it looks like "The Descendants" is one for this year.
Jeff Beck-Examiner.com Understandable when dealing with Payne's typically directionless protagonists, The Descendants occasionally feels like it is unsure of where it's going, yet it still always ambles along at a pleasant pace regardless.
Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk A thoroughly rewarding assembled-for-adults dramedy that benefits immensely from both its island locale and one of George Clooney's finest performances.
Erick Weber-NECN The Descendants is a devastating and rewarding emotional journey.
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Will keep you soaked in its melancholy until the very end...
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed Sort of like a shotgun marriage between Jimmy Buffett and Harry Chapin.
Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com There's some pretty tricky material for Payne and crew to navigate, but anchored by a terrific cast it's a journey of hurt and healing that lingers.
Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) overrated, but not a bad movie
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures "The Descendants" goes on too long, but that's its only flaw. And frankly, I can see why Payne and his editor decided to go with this print instead of making some awfully tough decisions.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis George Clooney gives a wonderful lead performance in his new film The Descendants but Clooney has always been more than just a handsome face, he's a proper movie star and in that old Hollywood tradition, he's also an everyman, one of us.
Brian Henry Martin-UTV No doubt the awards hype around the film will get people into cinemas but it doesn't warrant the attention considering Payne's previous work and Clooney has put in much better performances.
Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie Payne manages to give the film a lightness that makes it uplifting or at the least fulfilling, rather than depressing.
Matt Neal-The Standard full review at Movies for the Masses
Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses This film is one of the best films of 2011 and should compete for top awards when the Academy Awards roll around.
