Descendants, The

2011

From the celebrated director of Sideways (Alexander Payne) comes a wonderfully warm and witty film that Rolling Stone calls "damn near perfect." Academy Award Winner George Clooney "leads the ensemble cast of the year" (Michale Phillips, Chicago Tribune). Experience a bittersweet drama about a detached father's attempt to reconnect with his two daughters and their often-hilarious quest for the truth in the "moving, enlightening, funny and unapologetically human" film (Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine).
