'Nebraska'

trailer - 5 stars ***** This movie is phenomenal, it's right up there as one of all time great American movies. I could probably write endless paragraphs about why it's so good, but I will mention only one aspect. The great American poet Gary Snyder writes about the trickster. Without going into detail, the trickster part of the American psyche is on full display here in about as understanding, compassionate, and thorough a way as I have ever seen or read or heard. It doesn't hurt that the music score is equally as strong either and that the acting is seemless.
