The Descendants has been getting a lot of award nods of late and I think it deserves. Alexander Payne's new film is a very likable one, It follows the story of Matt King (George Clooney) and all of his family woes. It starts off with his wife falling into a coma and him having to step up and look after the kids. On top of all this he has to decide what to do with the family estate in Hawaii. All of this creates great tension between him and kids and him and his relatives. Seeing as it is shot in Hawaii, the scenery is just breathtaking and the Hawaiian music was a nice touch as well. The acting is very good all round especially from Amara Miller who plays Matt's youngest foul mouthed daughter. All in all this movie is great.
8/10
