Whether rich or poor, illness does descend upon us and while this is not a picture about arguing about letting go when someone is hopelessly ill with no chance of recovery, it is about the relations of the husband and his daughters, wealthy people, that ensue when their mother is critically injured in a boating accident.
Imagine the shock of the father, George Clooney in a remarkably compelling, but restrained performance, learns that his wife was having an affair with a man who would ultimately benefit from the large parcel of land that is being sold in Hawaii.
This excellent film details the human relations involved with a totally wealthy, but dysfunctional family. It also shows how they shall coalesce ultimately when the chips are down.
Robert Forster, as the dying woman's father, has some acting stealing scenes as the hard driven materialistic person who only can think what a neglectful Clooney should have done and about the proposed sale of the land.
A terrific film with fine performances by all.
