Lone Star International Film Festival 2011

Matt King (Clooney), an indifferent husband and father of two girls, is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki and ends up in a coma. The event forces Matt into single parenthood, bringing him closer to his troublesome daughters. As if this wasn’t enough, Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family’s land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries. Oscar®-winning filmmaker Alexander Payne returns with his first feature film since 2004’s instant classic Sideways, guiding Clooney to what is arguably his greatest performance.
