"Shot in bleakly beautiful black and white by Phedon Papamichael and featuring lovely music from Mark Orton (there’s a plaintive horn that sometimes goes off on mariachi-like curlicues), Nebraska is an unhurried movie, content to match Woody’s slow, deliberate steps. Like Woody, it falters on occasion (June Squibb has the thankless part of Woody’s harridan of a wife), yet it still affected me greatly. There’s a deep sorrow here about the way families frequently fail to communicate, even when death is staring them in the face." -
