Nebraska

Nebraska was really good. Not much happened really with its meandering plot but it was nevertheless quite enjoyable and had a really nice style.

I can say that I am a fan of Alexander Payne, I enjoyed all of his previous works, so Nebraska was one of my anticipated films from last year. I could have watched it some time ago but I decided to wait to see this beauty on the big screen. I was confident about to like it but it exceded all of my expectations, I loved it. Everything about Nebraska is real, and that's the most beautiful thing that this film could have. Everything is truthful and feel real and even the actors are "real" there's no glamourous pretty faces all around, there's ordinary human beings living with real situations of life. It's believable, emotional and will make you think about certain circunstances in life. Alexander Payne is always great with character studies and this film is not exception. If you wanna see a film where human and real feeling and matters are explored, Nebraska is the right film for you. It made me feel sad, but it also warmed my heart. It has power and it's beautiful. The acting is first rate! Bruce Dern gives an absolutely brilliant performance! He perfectly portrays someone who suffers from dementia, a desease not easy to handle. June Squibb steals every scene she is in! She is a delight and absolutely hilarious! The rest of the cast is also amazing. There's not a single bad performance, even the smallest role. Visually gorgeous, with a magnificient black and white cinematography and a great soundtrack. Nebraska is a terrific film and Alexander Payne was able to do, once again, another perfect dramedy.
