Claudia and I saw “The Descendants” this afternoon. Waterworks galore. Its a wonderful, touching film and much sadder than I had anticipated. It was billed as a comedy but I suspect word of mouth will straighten that out.
It was very satisfying and emotionally honest. It may be because I’ve just seen it that I’d give it the edge for an Oscar. Of course, There are only about two hundred films I haven’t seen this year so I may not be the best judge.
