An adaptation of the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings, Matt King is a middle aged Hawaiian who runs a trust responsible for millions of dollars worth of untouched real estate. The land has been passed down to him and various cousins and he's preparing to sell the area to make millions for everyone in the trust. During this process, his wife suffers a severe head trauma during a boat race, it's a tough time for him and his two daughters.
I usually don't think George Clooney is acting, he is just playing himself but he is good in this role and this film is very different. A lot of difficult subjects with both kids and adults trying to get though it. The backgrounds are very beautiful since it's filmed in Hawaii. 4* (I really liked this movie)
110 min, Drama directed by Alexander Payne with George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Judy Greer, Beau Bridges, Nick Krause, Patricia Hastie, Mathew Lillard, Robert Forester.
