Nebraska stars Bruce Dern as Woody Grant, a pensioner who gets a piece of junk mail stating he has won a Million Dollars, so he sets off to Lincoln Nebraska in order to collect his winnings.
It is shot in black and white, which actually adds something to the feel of the film. That extra sense of nostalgia as the film foes into Woody's past.
Bruce Dern puts in a decent performance, but for me the real highlight is the performance of June Squib as Woody's wife Kate, she has many of the best jokes and comedic moments in the film, and her timing and delivery are superb, especially in the graveyard scene.
This film has a lot to say about how we treat the elderly when they start to lose some of their faculties, and also about jealousy and how relationships change when someone wins a lot of money.
I particularly enjoyed the closing scene in this movie, which left me with a big smile, whilst not without its faults, this is a thoroughly entertaining movie 9/10
