Great movie. The message behind this movie is very deep, everything fits so well.

I appreciated it for what it was, but in the end it was still frustrating and I don't plan to see it again. I did like how it showed how people can change and lie about who they are so easily. It did have some good moments of the news anchor fighting and the memory lanes / characters they encountered. It was also sad showing the plight of the working class in NE and SD. Saw on Pluto.

great story, great acting and great cinematography.

Gioiello e film d'autore di Alexander Payne che sforna un altro classico del cinema indipendente e di nicchia, dimostrando una volta in più che un'ottima sceneggiatura, un bravo regista ed un gruppetto di discreti attori possono bastare per produrre un film di altissima qualità, a cui fa da ciliegina il coraggio di produrlo in bianco e nero, per togliere ancora più importanza alle immagini lasciandola alle emozioni ed alle sensazioni. A tutto ciò non può che aggiungersi l'incredibile performance di Bruce Dern, semplicemente perfetto nel creare un personaggio coerente nei suoi difetti ma soprattutto completo sotto ogni sfaccettatura. Il finale è delicato e lieto, forse fin troppo vista la tagliente ironia con cui è stato affrontato tutto il film. Dialoghi favolosi, veloci e mai noiosi.

Es brillante, sencilla, íntima.

The strength of this heart warming movie relies in the simplicity of it's story and in it's telling.

An instant masterpiece. It's hard to even describe how brilliant, sensitive and thought provoking this movie really is. It should be in "must see" of everyone

Decided to revisit this film after a decade, and I couldn't recommend it enough. Go into this one blind. Filled with excellent performances, tight dialogue, beautiful B/W cinematography, and a memorable score, Nebraska is a cozy film with a ton of heart, sprinkled with dark and light humor throughout.

The best filmmaking debut ever from Bob Nelson!

Just a bit on the slow side, but understandable why it go so many nominations, even if it didn't win as many. Worked well with B&W, though at times I really wanted to see the colors of the fields. Reminded me a bit of Nomadland - the types of people met along the way. A road movie, a coming-to-terms with family movie. Well-done. The June Squibb character was really a stand-out - no wonder she was among the nominations of this movie.

You'll like this movie the most if you have a soft spot for seniors who are at just the beginning stages of cognitive decline. It's about how one particular senior relates to his wife, son, and some former friends and kin in a town he used to live in. The plot seems to go back to the time when sweepstakes such as Publisher's Clearinghouse used to send letters to people, and sometimes older people would believe or misunderstand them and think they really did "win". The movie, like the state, is pleasantly boring.

It's moving, frustrating, and really funny throughout. David (Will Forte) reluctantly embarks on a road-trip with his father, Woody (Bruce Dern), from Billings, MT to Lincoln, NE — Woody believes he has won $1,000,000 and is determined to retrieve it at the magazine headquarters in Nebraska. Even by the end credits, we still don't get a comprehensive beat on Woody. He's stubborn or senile or both. David, and to a lesser extent his mother (June Squibb) and brother (Bob Odenkirk), enable but also criticize and feel for Woody in the way only one can as they witness their spouse/parent near the end. The vast majority of the plot takes place in Woody's hometown of Hawthorne, NE, where there's little opportunity and everyone knows everyone else. When word gets out that Woody is a newly minted millionaire, despite how ridiculous that sounds to the rest of the Grant family, the closets are opened and the tithing hands are outstretched, from family and friend alike. Cole (Devin Ratray) and Bart (Tim Driscoll), Woody's nephews, are hilarious. June Squibb is a firecracker and vivified foil to Woody's humdrum reserve. "I told 'em, ‘I ain't fiddlin' with no cow titties, I'm a city girl'," was her best moment. There's something here about pursuing an unreachable dream in this section of the country, but I don't think that's what you should come for. This is a heartfelt movie that avoids schmaltziness and includes real, if not ridiculous, characters.

Alexander Payne's Sideways (2004) is probably in my top ten favourite films of all time. Everything about it is just perfect in my eyes, and I'm hoping it will crop up at some point on 온라인카지노추천 so I can wax lyrical about it some more. Payne followed this up with The Descendants (2011) another terrifically focused piece of film making, before making Nebraska, the story of an old man and his son. Bruce Dern plays Will Forte's father, who receives a letter in the post telling him he has won a million dollars in a publishing sweepstake, and is foiled by his family in his repeated attempts to walk himself to collect his winnings. Despite knowing it's a scam, son Davey (Forte) eventually agrees to drive his father to the state capital to prove this. What follows is a poignant, beautifully written, and laugh out loud road trip, elegantly shot in arty monochrome which adds to the period feeling of the movie in the sense that it's set in the here and now, but it feels like your watching something out of time. It's magical.

A sweet but never sappy story, full of pathos and humor.

Woody Grant (Bruce Dern) is an aging alcoholic, seemingly lost in life but looking for something to live for. Having received a sweepstakes notice advising him that he has won one-million dollars, he sets off on a road trip from Montana to Nebraska with his reluctant son (Will Forte) to collect his prize. Thus begins Nebraska, Alexander Payne's poignant tale filled with small moral victories and meaningful personal revelations. The film, shot in stark and somber black and white, is a touching exploration of one man's deeply flawed character and his attempt at some sort of redemption. Dern is excellent in the lead role, as is June Squibb as his crusty, painfully truthful wife. Her scene in the cemetery is a comedic tour-de-force.

A great story that is rich in its message, but perhaps better suited as a short story than a 2- hour film, perhaps.

While it may feel dull to some viewers, this movie shows that film-making that goes back to the basics can truly not be a let down! Fantastic acting and a good story with a good message!

This movie is a masterpiece. It's one of the very best movies I've ever seen. It's funny, touching always authentic with characters that you care about. Highest recommendation.

Bruce Dern nails it in this really amazing beautiful independent film it's funny and touching story about a man who think he wonder a sweepstakes and there wife and there son knows it's fake.

Una película muy especial. Filmada en blanco y negro por Alexander Payne, sugeriría un sentimiento de nostalgia pero para mi gusto genera más melancolía y el reflejo de que se puede estar rodeado de amigos, de familia y aún así sentirse sólo o ignorado. La película nos narra la historia de Woody Grant (Bruce Dern), un veterano de la guerra de Corea senil y alcohólico que pretende ir a Nebraska a cobrar un premio a pesar de que todo el mundo pretende desalentarlo. Y así comienza el viaje de Woody y su relación emocional con sus hijos y su esposa. La naturalidad del guión y el ritmo que actores cómo Bob Odenkirk y Will Forte es muy bueno. Una bella película con un obscuro mensaje y una ironía tajante que duele.
