The Alexander Payne directed film tells the story of an aging man who takes the journey from Montana to Nebraska to claim a million dollar prize he “claims” to have won, with his estranged son. Aside from the quiet aesthetics the film creates and the beautiful white and black photography, Nebraska is filled with great performances. Bruce Dern, June Sqiubb and Bob Odenkirk are just a few of the memorable actors. What is truly amazing about Will Forte’s performance as David Grant, frustrated son, is how he is able to give such a compelling honesty to his character. A performer known for outlandish characters on SNL and shows like 30 Rock, Forte combines both drama and comedy with a rarity not often seen. Seeing such a different facet of Forte’s skills as an actor is what makes this one of my favorite films of an SNL vet.
