Nebraska

"Filmmaker Alexander Payne is an excellent storyteller of characters who are disillusioned, lost in their lives and searching for something to give them meaning. Although films like 'Sideways' and 'The Descendants' have solidified his career as a good work, the director reached his peak with the delicate 'Nebraska'. Messing up the viewer's notion of what a road movie is, the film speaks about parenthood, family, memory and losses in a sensitive and memorable way. The black and white contrast in this film, on the other hand, responds to the contrast of the "American dream" and its disappointing results, countless stories of misunderstandings and shattered dreams. With breathtaking performance, too, from Bruce Dern (of 'The Hateful Eight' and 'Silent Running')."
