"A pitch-perfect movie that threads a microscopically tiny needle between high comedy and devastating drama."- Washington Post, Ann Hornaday
"Rarely has a contemporary movie taken in so much life and revealed it with such depth of feeling."- Wall Street Journal, Joe Morgenstern
"Clooney has never been better, subtler, more deeply rooted in a performance than he is in The Descendants. And he's funny, too."- Philadelphia Inquirer, Steven Rea
"To call The Descendants perfect would be a kind of insult, a betrayal of its commitment to, and celebration of, human imperfection. Its flaws are impossible to distinguish from its pleasures."- The New York Times, A.O. Scott
"Payne's low-key approach only deepens the film's intimate power. Want a movie you can really connect with? The Descendants is damn near perfect."- Rolling Stone, Peter Travers
