BrianSez's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

Bruce Dern caps a great career as a quietly cantankerous old man in search of a million. And so begins a journey through the gritty and cold Nebraska – among old Midwest men who equally don’t talk much. Well, some of them do – and those are the ones who are after his potential money. The black & white coloring adds to the dreariness and highlights the old-school – where lol moments come unexpectedly – primarily from out of left field commentary from old friends and family. Following the film can be difficult at times, but the character studies are worth it.

Acting - Really Great 4.5

Besides our man Bruce, a solid cast of supporting actors make it a joy to watch: Will Kirk and Bob Odenkirk as the mostly tolerant sons; June Squibb is a hoot as the wife/mom. Stacy Keach makes an energetic appearance as well.

Film - Great 4.0

Edge - Tame 1.3

Reality - Glib 1.4
