The deft achievement of this movie is that it has a hardness that doesn't delight in the meanness of mockery as the Coens often do.
Wesley Morris, Grantland
Fresh
An intimate road movie about one family that also lingers on the landscapes and fabric of an old-time, dying vision of the American Midwest
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

"Nebraska," it turns out, isn't as bleak as it first looks.
Tom Long, Detroit News

A desolate comedy-drama about fathers, sons, life's highways and missed off-ramps.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
