“A beautifully chiseled piece of filmmaking - sharp, funny, generous and moving.”
Aroview: George Clooney plays a land heir attempting to reconnect with his family after a serious accident befalls his wife in this seriocomic mid-life drama from dir. Alexander Payne (SIDEWAYS).
The Hawaiian setting lends a distinctive exoticism to the writer-director's trademark literate "comedy of ethics", and it's another firm feather in his cap, as well as that of its gracefully aging star.

4 stars (Very Good) A good character-driven piece with Clooney showing his range. Not the kind of story that takes us very far, but it's certainly emotional, funny and well-acted. ~Tom H
3 stars (Good Enough) Well handled and acted. ~tubbs
