Nebraska

So what we have here is a beautifully photographed movie – in black and white – with a wonderfully underwritten performance at its center – telling a story of ordinary days filled with ordinary people who do ordinary things. This is the tale of Woody (Bruce Dern), an old man who has taken what life had to offer, without explanation or complaint. He’s never expected much, never needed much; he’s had what he’s had, done what he’s had to do and had more than a few beers along the way.
