The Descendents

Love George Clooney for his ability to act and his choice of films.  This film is about a family in a bit of a crisis.  The mother is in a coma and as she lies there secrets are revealed and dealing with these as well as another string of family related issues in the extended whanau are played out through George's character Matt.  I loved the setting of Hawaii, the real Hawaii, the lack of bright sun, the relaxed shirts, sandals and messy hair.  Of course there is more to it than the look but it all added to the feel of the film.  I learned some stuff from the characters and loved the writing.   Loved the characters and the understatement of the direction and acting.  Go and see it, it is a good film.
