LOVEFiLM Review The Descendants

  • 5 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    With Golden Globes behind it, this comedy-drama starring George Clooney proves to be a rare treat in its simplicity.

  • A treat

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Surprisingly funny, and poignant, you love and hate and laugh with the characters. The daughter father relationship, brilliant!

    I was really not keen on this film but it so deserves its award! never judge a film by its cover :)

  • Really good

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    This film has all the elements you want from a good film - drama, humour, a plot that isn't obvious, well-acted believable characters that have real relationships with each other. The story was poignant and the setting great. I would recommend it.

  • Watch it, it's something different

    Funny, and something new., not worn out. The daughter-father relationship, is set out really nice. I liked Clooney and it was quite different from what he usually stars in. Watch it even if you think it's not your style!

  • Disappointing to say the least

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By Cathpot (2 reviews) , 20 May 2013
    Not exactly a comedy. And the numerous use of the F word spoilt it for me - unnecessary! Was still waiting for the film to get going when it ended! Rather disappointing. Would not recommend it.

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    A most unusual story to see George Clooney in. He is outstanding but so are many of the full cast of his family and friends ! An apparently acceptable - dare I say innocuous - set of circumstances leads to unusual meetings, even confrontations in what turns out to be ... you'll see.

    I must have missed the point with this movie as all the reviews seemed to be rave reviews of how fantastic it is. I did not rate it much at all
