Alexander Payne’s The Descendants absolutely surprised me and it goes down as a personal favorite of mine

An absolutely outstanding film. Stellar performances from everybody on board, most especially Shailene Woodley and George Clooney. It’s about a land owner with ties to Hawaiian ancestral owned land as he tries to come the grips with his wife’s tragic motor boat accident and developing a good relationship with his daughters before finding out about an act his wife has committed before the accident.

Alexander Payne has become bigger on my radar thanks to The Holdovers which is one of the best Christmas movies i’ve seen in years and just all around fantastic. I’ve wanted to venture out into his filmography and with this being the first one i’ve seen, my god what else has this man made?

This has honestly gone down as a personal favorite all-time for me, I mean it really struck a cord with me. Go check it out if you can.
