The Descendants (2011)


A land baron tries to re-connect with his two daughters after his wife is seriously injured in a boating accident.

Slow-paced and slightly entertaining epiphany of a mild-mannered man - an instant contender for Academy Awards nominations.

Maltin ****: "Insightful meditation on the absurdity of life - tragic one moment, funny the next - with pitch-perfect performances and a rich sense of place, en hanced by a beautiful score of traditional Hawaiian music. Clooney has never been better."
