“The Descendants” is up for five Academy Awards this year including Best Picture and Best Actor for George Clooney. Is it really that good? I’d say yes, but this is a film that is dividing audiences.

I’ve heard several anecdotes of people coming out of this movie underwhelmed or even saying it was awful. Not everyone needs to love a certain film. There is no right answer in what makes a film, or any piece of art, good or bad, but, I can’t help but wonder what it was that turned people off from a film that I found to be so funny, honest, moving and genuine.
