"From Academy Award® winner Alexander Payne, the director of Sideways and The Descendants, comes the film that critics are calling "An American Masterpiece." When a father (Bruce Dern) and his adult son (Will Forte) embark on a journey to claim a million-dollar prize, what begins as a fool's errand becomes a search for the road to redemption. Discover why Nebraska is "one of those movies I'll watch for the rest of my life."***

Dont get me wrong this is a great film (words that rarely come out of my mouth) but sadly '12 years' will likely win for 'content' or 'Gravity' because it was an amazing spectacle.. But these films shouldn't win for best picture merely because one bring to view the horrors of my country's atrocities and the other was merely a slap and tickle of the eyes.. Gravity WAS JUST THAT ! THE ACTING WAS GOOD (not great) tge directing was self indulgent at times and well sorry lol got off subj 'D.B.C"&'HER

A unique Father, son bonding story. A Journey towards A Chance at a million dollars. Or a chance at reconciliation between a Son and his delusional Pops. And the lengths he'll go to fulfill the old mans fantasy of his Six-Digit Prize. Just to learn more of his quiet old gray introverted Dad whos sensitivity is all the while intriguing. And the use of black and white film creates the perfect atmosphere for this drama/comedy. An overall message of what Family is or "Family" and what true hope can bring you.

This is a great movie. Nebraska explores the role reversal between a parent and their child, especially when the parent is incapable of taking care of themselves. The movie is slow and take it's time, which will turn off a lot of people. However it is very appropriate for the content, tone and theme of the film. It's humor is very subdued and not upfront as other comedies this season. One thing to keep in mind while watching is that the films tempo goes hand and hand with the story.
