The Descendants

A story about a man among static, exaggerated characters, dealing with a smorgasbord of crises. Clooney was marvelous. The climatic farewell was both powerful and effective. This speech, in my opinion, was the salvation of the film. No major quarrels with the photography, though the score was not especially memorable. A good film, but one that has its flaws, drags here and there, and simply did not interest me.
