The Descendants
Matt King is a land baron who's wife is in a coma after a boating accident. He tries to re-connect with his two daughters and finds out his wife has cheated on him.
The Descendants is a very good movie. George Clooney give the best performance of his entire carrier. Shailene Woodly as Matt King's oldest daughter, Alexandra King was also great. Both should be nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress. I've never seen an Alexander Payne film, but after watching this, Im interested in seeing his previous work. Nick Krause plays Sid, Alexandra's slacker friend. He is the comedy relief character in the movie who I thought was funny, but sometimes annoying and felt unnecessary. The Descendants is definitely worthy of being a nominee for Best Picture at the 2012 Oscars. It won't appeal to everyone, but I did enjoy this a lot. A must see for George Clooney fans.
