The Descendants

Filmed in Oahu, Hawaii, this film stars George Clooney, Shailene Woodley and Amara Miller. Clooney is Hawaiian land baron Matt King whose wife met with a boating accident and is now in a coma. This workaholic of a man now has his life in disarray not only because of his wife's condition but also he discovers that his wife is having an affair before the accident.
He also has to deal with his daughters Scotti (Miller) who is 10 years old and teenager Alexandra (Woodley) who are both rebellious and hard to talk to.
As a family man, Clooney gives a superb performance showing his vulnerability, strength, anguish and anger.
This film is not the typical I-have-to-connect-with-my-family but instead it throws in different perspective that makes a drama. Director Alexander Payne has done an great job in making this film a must see.
