It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I have never heard of this film or anyone involved in it, when I finished it I din't understand why because this film is amazingly done, one of the few that has the honor of calling it a motion picture, a form of art, that is what it is: art. Strating with a cinematography that not anyone dares to use, and in here work with a sense of pure beauty. Then the film edition was one of the things that impressed me the most, it changes of scene so delicate and profound just perfectly to the screenplay. The actors with amazing performances, just when I thought they can't do better, they just overcome my expectations and did it ten times more amazing. This type of screenplay is the one of my favorites, from a story that some people think is boring, for me are the ones where you can take the best of it; starting with something simple, that seemed hopeless, but then with the characters that also lived simple lives, but each one of them had their virtues and ideas to live for, a history behind them. I also loved the reality in the film. The dialogue they used is like gold transformed into words. and then the music that showed tranquility in a place where a lot of negative but not terrible things happened. This are the kind of films that should last forever.If you like classics this one will fill you with joy. I loved every second and minute of it.

Look, there's basically no movie or TV show out there which has universal appeal. I won't pretend that just because I love this movie that everyone will.But for those of us who understand that life is far from perfect... for those of us who understand that the world can be cruel... for those of us who actually think about why we become the persons that we do... for those of us who consistently analyze death and the meaning of life... it's a masterpiece. Nebraska essentially covers many important topics (some listed below) while remaining entertaining in every single scene.1. Personal dreams, wishes and hopes 2. Family and friend relations 3. Alcoholism 4. Our lives' direction and eventual outcome5. Senility and death The scenery is stunning, the casting is perfect and there are lessons to be learned -- what else do you want from a movie? This is probably my favorite film of all time.

You have won $1,000,000… if you have and return the winning numbers. Bruce Dern's character, Woody Grant, focuses on the first part of that sentence when he receives a sweepstakes letter in the mail, but doesn't understand (or doesn't want to understand) the second part. He's determined to personally claim "his million dollars" by taking the letter from his home in Montana to the offices of the marketing company who sent him the letter in "Nebraska" (R, 1:55).Woody is a gruff old man who doesn't have much going on in his life and is willing to walk the 900 miles to Lincoln, Nebraska if he has to (and tries to do so). His long-suffering sons, David and Ross, played, respectively, by Will Forte and Bob Odenkirk, and Woody's pistol of a wife, Kate (Jane Squibb) are all unable to talk him out of it. David finally agrees to drive his dad to Lincoln. The trip takes them through Woody's hometown where we meet a number of his family members and old friends. Woody begins talking about the fortune he says he has won and word spreads quickly. Everyone enthusiastically congratulates Woody and he becomes the talk of the small town. He enjoys his new found local celebrity, until some of his family and friends start sticking their hands out, deciding that Woody owes them money from back in the day.In the end, it doesn't matter whether Woody gets the money or not. This film is much more about the journey than the destination. In content and tone, "Nebraska" has elements of 1986's "Nothing in Common", 1998's "Waking Ned Devine" and 1999's "The Straight Story", while, at times, feeling like a Coen Brothers movie. "Nebraska" is charming, funny and heart-warming. The film appears in black and white, which serves to enhance its simple, rustic feel. Besides, the movie's characters were colorful enough for me. Most of the actors are good fits for their roles, but Forte is miscast. His acting skills served the broad comedy of Saturday Night Live well, but aren't well-suited to the subtle comedy (and the serious moments) of this film. I found his presence distracting. Odenkirk was very good, and I'll let the Oscar nominations for Dern and Squibb (plus director Alexander Payne, screenwriter Bob Nelson and the film, as a whole) speak for themselves. "Nebraska" will leave YOU feeling like a million bucks. "A-"

This movie is really food for thoughts and has a powerful meaning and message for all of us .. Is that what we gonna be when we get old ?!! live for nothing .. live our life doing nothing unless watching a football game or sitting next to the streets watching the cars passing away .. Good questions need to be asked to ourselves .. The movie gave us many necessary question we met everyday in our lives but we choose to delay it .. How the close people you have may act when they see the good things come to you .. Great movie with great cast .. I will turn into the cast now to give him his right .. the actors were great ,especially the great one , Bruce Dern .. this man is incredible .. he could get deep into the character which I say that this character is too difficult .. But this man he made it .. and the screenplay I couldn't say any thing about it .. It was professionally made .. and at the last I'll take about the director the man that was able to make you live in the old's world and show you their suffering and show you even they are very old but they still have a message even if it is wining the lottery
