Nebraska (2013)
Suggested by Victoria on Facebook who had this to say about it "Nebraska is one of my favourite films. I listen to the soundtrack a lot."
The movie takes its' shambling pace from the walk of Bruce Dern, relentless, directed but also meandering, slow and kinda confused.
A terrific performance, with an underplayed but affecting star turn he does more with a simple 'huh?' than most will with reams of dialogue.
There is a gentle, dry wit to every scene (though it can default to a more cynical 'aint hicks dumb' comedy a touch too much) and a core of real emotion that makes the finale (a simple drive through town) work despite a narrative convenience or two.
It doesn't exactly pack any dramatic punches but that's part of its' understated charm.
