Brilliant director for excellent character-focused-cinema.
01. Nebraska
02. Sideways
03. The Descedants
04. Election
05. About Schmidt
06. Citizen Ruth
07. Downsizing
Actually only the last mentioned film is weak.

1. Sideways - 9/10 (his best by far. Only classic.)
2. Election - 8/10 (very fun and satirical. Even better than Rushmore.)
3. About Schmidt - 7.5/10 (adorable Nicholson and some amusing family problems, but not a major classic)
4. The Descendants - 7/10 (Clooney and Woodley was on, but pretty basic film with some mild moments)
5. Downsizing - 4.5/10 (no way to defend this imo. Just uninteresting film that was my #1 most anticipated at one point)

I haven't seen Downsizing or Citizen Ruth yet, but all the others make my top 5 or 10 of their respective years, which makes Payne one of my favorite working directors.

Election ( a pretty fantastic summation of how the world works ) his masterpiece Sideways Nebraska About Schmidt Downsizing. The first hour is among his best stuff, but the disconnection with the second half is a headscatcher, is a different movie The Descendants. Didn't believe for a second Clooney was a father of those kids nor he lived in Hawaii all his life. N/S Citizen Ruth  |

The Descendants 8.5
Sideways 8
About Schmidt 8
Nebraska 7
Election 6
Downsizing 5.5
He doesn't only write good dialogues, but usually excels in mixing different emotions working very well within his works and characters. Especially his first three works on my list (and to a just a bit lesser part also Nebraska) mix up funny and sad or melancholic scenes in a skillful manner. Always looking forward to Payne's movies.

N/s the rest. I feel like he’s been on a downward spiral as of late but he built up a lot of goodwill with his earlier work.
