The greatest movie ever made..!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

A feel good indie film. I expected a complete drama, probably realistic and nothing more. It was slightly hopping around with different genres. Yeah, there were some fun, though how the tale had begun and how the rest of the narration shaped up was not so blendful. A young woman returns home after learning about her father's sudden death. It was the first visit after many years, especially since her mother's death. She also for the first time meets her grandparents. This trip is a different experience. The short stay extents, and then she meets Reno, a singer who stuck in the plac due to her mother. From there how the rest of the story unfolds is told decently.It had characters, the great ones. The story too, but not all the scenes were so great. Particularly Reno made this film a bit cheerful. Usually indie films are one-off, but I thought they should make another one. Because feels there's more to add to it, like a road trip, followed by the rest of their lifeline in LA. Or maybe a prequel seems good too. If you like drama films, you would enjoy it. But not for everyone. Imogen was good, I liked somebody like her accepted the role. Then Mackenzie Davis and others too were good. Not many people had seen it, for that reason itself, it deserves to be watched. Forget the film critics, just try it and rate it.7/10

And then they wrote a script and made a movie. Hardly a single tolerable character. Surely it was written and directed by Saturday Night Live. Things are really slow in this flick. It's like living inside of a coma. In fact, one of the characters wakes up from her diabetic coma to go have a burger and fries at the Dairy Queen and finishes off with a blizzard. If you hate the south, you'll like this movie.

I loved this film and it actually made tears well up in my eyes a few times, which rarely, if ever, happens during a film. It was simply a week in the life of Ellie (Imogen Poots) as she arranged her father's funeral and explored her fathers life in the town. One thing I really loved was the trans-guy cowboy, Reno (Mackenzie Davis). There aren't many trans characters in film, especially not transgender guys, so this was a breath of fresh air. The plot was easy to follow. Estranged familial relation dies, funeral, town-folk relating stories of the deceased, troubled family, and new connections. The characters, albeit clichéd, were interesting and relatable. Amanda, the wife of Ellie's dad, is a drunk having trouble coping. Her son, Jack, is understandably bitter and stressed as he has a lot on his plate with his drunk mother and child to care for. Reno is troubled with small-town bigotry, and a self-indulgent, diabetic mother. And Ellie is a simple girl making peace with her father, who caused her and her brother a lot of pain.Only one thing about this film kind of bothered me. Ellie spent a lot of her time in town with her new friend Reno, and hardly any with her "step-brother" Jack, but near the end of the film, when she is at the hospital with Jack, they are close to kissing. This felt strange because throughout the film, there was no indication (except a very small bit where Jack's son asks if Ellie is going to stay) that Jack was a love interest. If anything, I felt Reno was more of a love interest than Jack. In the end though, Jack and Ellie didn't become a thing, which I absolutely liked; Too many films that shoehorn love subplots kill the movie for me, but this didn't end like that.Overall, it was a beautiful film. Really heartwarming, interesting, and real.

I really like movies about some modern day western country in America that doesn't really have high tall building, not a lot of car, not a lot of people and everything. I really love "Nebraska" and I think this movie got the same feel too. Its relaxing, smooth and I love to hear the Texas slang they talk, it sounds really cool. Even though its like the same old movie from America, about a girl from a broken family, who need to get back to her old town that she leave a long time ago when she just find out that her bad dad is dead. I think the story is OK, its like kind of play safe because there is not really much drama, just the same old thing, you will know if you've watch a lot of this kind of movie. I really like the tomboy character played by Mackenzie Davis, she is really good, I thought she is really a man at first but yeah, he is a girl and she got a really nice voice to hear every time she speak. Overall, its a nice movie to watch with your family. Its so relaxing, though.
