"Alexander Payne osaa hyvin sisällyttää elokuviinsa sekä komediaa ja draamaa ja The Descendants on oiva esimerkki miehen osaamisesta. George Clooney ei ole koskaan ollut parempi."

“A wonderful cast and a surprisingly believable role for George Clooney muddling through fatherhood while trying to cope with his wife's affair and death. The scenery was a plus, of course.” read more
