Drama. Comedy "NEBRASKA" is a father and son road trip, from Billings, Montana to Lincoln, Nebraska that gets waylaid at a small town in central Nebraska, where the father grew up and has scores to settle. Told with deadpan humor and a unique visual style, it's ultimately the story of a son trying to get through to a father he doesn't understand.

United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A thoroughly sweet and charming movie, and a reminder of Dern's quality as an actor (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Is 'Nebraska' a comedy or a drama? Like life, it's both (...) It's damn near perfect, starting with the acting. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of ofur)"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Much of 'Nebraska' is ordinary prose, but the best parts are plain-spoken comic poetry. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"A finely etched study of flawed characters stuck in life’s well-worn grooves (...) Dern is simply marvelous in a role the director reportedly first offered to Gene Hackman"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Payne’s insistence on shooting in black-and-white (...) enriches the film artistically (...) Great care is evident in casting down to the smallest bit player"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"This is a comedy, with plenty of acutely funny lines, a handful of sharp sight gags and a few minutes of pure, perfect madcap. But a grim, unmistakable shadow falls across its wintry landscape."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Bruce Dern gives the performance of his career as the headstrong Woody in the brilliant, wisely observed and wryly funny 'Nebraska'. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
