Full Plot Details

Matt King's family has lived in Hawaii for generations. His extended family - namely he and his many cousins - own 25,000 acres of undeveloped land on Kauai held in trust, which ends in seven years. The easiest thing for the family to do is sell the land before the seven years is up, which is all the talk in the state, as, to whom they sell the property could very well change the face of Kauai. Despite the vast wealth that comes with the land, Matt has decided to live solely on what he earns as a Honolulu lawyer. However, Matt has not had a perfect life living in Hawaiian paradise as many believe. He and his wife Elizabeth were having problems in their marriage. She recently got into a boating accident which has placed her in a coma. Their seventeen year old daughter Alex is in boarding school on the big island since they couldn't handle her rebellion, which was made all the worse by an argument of an unknown nature between mother and daughter during Alex's last visit home. And their ten year old daughter Scottie is starting to act out, which Matt doesn't know if he can handle, potentially raising her on his own. Matt decides to bring Alex home upon news that Elizabeth is brain dead, and that she will be pulled off life support. But revelations about Elizabeth and Alex's argument, which is tied indirectly to the issue of the land sale, leads to some decisions on Matt's part about what is best for him in both mourning Elizabeth's death and what is the best thing to do about the land, the two decisions which may be incompatible.

Movie Reviews

We Got This Covered - 10/10 by Kristal CooperThe Descendants manages to even surpass those stratospheric expectations most fans will have walking into the theatre.
Cinema Crazed - 10/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Will keep you soaked in its melancholy until the very end...
Fan The Fire - 10/10 by Andrew SimpsonThe sharp wit and commitment to damaged men remain, but with his newfound appreciation of what goes unsaid, The Descendants sees Payne finally becoming the filmmaker many have claimed he was all along.
MovieFreak.com - 10/10 by Sara Michelle FettersFew films have dealt with the concept of parental death as movingly, poetically and lovingly as this, delivering a strikingly powerful narrative that is as profound as it is honest.
Tri-City Herald - 10/10 by Gary WolcottA non-preachy exploration of the depth, width and complexity of life, love and relationships, and this great gift we call humanity.
Radio Times - 10/10 by Andrew CollinsWarm, subtle and gentle, The Descendants demonstrates what can happen when indie talent is nurtured to mainstream success.
Real.com - 10/10 by Lisa Giles-KeddieThe perfect combination of dramedy, tragedy and familiar fallouts that simultaneously brings tears of joy and sorrow, with seemingly effortless effect.
Film International - 10/10 by Matthew SorrentoClooney takes up the archetypal role of unofficial investigator, with a younger sidekick in tow. Though the film offers a fine portrait of character growth, it's allotted by the crime-themed structure of the avenger film.
Aisle Seat - 10/10 by Mike McGranaghanIt's smart, funny, heartbreaking, heartwarming, wise, and, despite some sad moments, genuinely optimistic. I experienced more feelings watching it than I usually get from ten movies.
Entertainment Spectrum - 10/10 by Keith CohenThis unforgettable movie succeeds by making audiences feel like a part of the family. Clooney knocks it out of the park with a marvelous performance. Woodley makes a strong bid for a supporting actress nomination. The supporting players are all given...
