Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
In playing an everyman stranded between anger and duty, Clooney earns an emotional payoff that a lesser actor would simply demand.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

fresh:
In the hands of writer-director Alexander Payne, Clooney has rarely seemed so much at home.

fresh:
One of the year's best films, a bubbly meditation on family and responsibility that weighs just enough to matter.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,

The Descendants is humane, decent, and close to real quality.
