Anita M May 17 So very sad, but told about what happened in Nebraska that I had never heard about before.

There are films that entertain you, and then there are films that stay with you long after you have left the theatre. Omaha is the second kind. I saw it first at Sundance, and I saw it again the week it came out in theatres, It hit even harder the second time around. That alone should tell you everything. Director Cole Webley, in his feature debut, shows remarkable patience and confidence. He lets scenes breathe. It takes guts, understanding, and trust from the writer, director, and actor to make that work — and it did. In those silent moments, Magaro emitted love, shame, disappointment, and sadness with his eyes and purposeful movement. He trusts the landscape — the wide open skies, the long empty highways, the golden light of American landscape — to do as much storytelling as the script. There is a beauty to this film that sneaks up on you, and the guitar-based score that fits every moment without ever overpowering it. See more Robert C @Bobcatcook 5d What a "trip"! Gripping from the start. Watching this movie is "like being there" with the family, as they adventure to a destination yet unknown. Masterfully scripted, incredible performances, thoughtfully produced and edited, with a beautifully powerful soundtrack. Once seen, never forgotten... See more Dan L @RT70515034 May 25 Cinematically superb, but pragmatically and morally empty. No explanation for father's cruel abandonment of all that matters. Disconcerting and markedly depressing. See more Mia C @LaMEC May 23 A gorgeous, poetic, and absolutely devastating film. Necessary, soulful, and true to too many contemporary families' experiences. The child actors are excellent, especially the older child, Ella (she's English!). And Magaro... man, I thought he was great in Past Lives. he is astounding in this film. Omaha hurts and haunts, in the great Humanist and lasting way. See more Kiahna C @K1campbell May 21 Omaha wrecked me a little. Subtle, raw, beautifully made. The kind of film that doesn’t scream for your attention but stays with you after. See more Read all reviews
