Nebraska

Leaving December 31 • 1h 54m

Directed by Alexander Payne • 2013 • United States
Starring Bruce Dern, Will Forte, June Squibb

When an increasingly disconnected-from-reality father (Bruce Dern) and his estranged adult son (Will Forte) embark on a journey from Montana to Nebraska to claim a (nonexistent) million-dollar sweepstakes prize, what begins as a fool’s errand becomes a search for the road to redemption. Abetted by an Oscar-nominated Dern’s touchingly grizzled, plainspoken performance, director Alexander Payne (THE HOLDOVERS, SIDEWAYS) imbues this poignant Midwest road movie with the mix of deadpan comic observation and bittersweet humanism that has become his signature.
