Reviews in German: «(...) herausragend gespielte und betörend fotografierte Tragikomödie ein Meisterstück mitfühlender Menschlichkeit. Payne trifft mit schlafwandlerischer Sicherheit immer zum passenden Zeitpunkt die passende Note und komponiert ein virtuoses atmosphärisches Meisterwerk.» (filmstarts.de)
«Der Tonfall fällt ausgesprochen mild und versöhnlich aus, und in seinem politischen Idealismus [...] ist The Descendants schlicht naiv. » (filmdienst)
«(...) Ich bin zwar ein notorischer Softie, doch The Descendants ließ mich kalt. Obwohl der Film auch seine guten Momente hat, vor allem das Schauspiel von George Clooney. » (Richard Corliss, Time Magazine)

Remarks and general Information in German: „Meine Freunde auf dem Festland glauben, nur weil ich auf Hawaii wohne, würde ich im Paradies leben. Quasi im Dauerurlaub. Wir schlürfen hier alle nur Mai Tais, wackeln mit den Hüften und gehen surfen. Sind die verrückt?“, sagt Matt King (George Clooney). Die atemberaubende Landschaft kann nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass es auch auf Hawaii normale Menschen mit ganz normalen Problemen gibt. (Pressetext)
