All Good Things (2010)
Mr. David Marks was suspected but never tried for killing his wife Katie who disappeared in 1982, but the truth is eventually revealed.
A fascinating true story is muddled by indecisive direction and a incoherent plot, although the cast does try to give the movie some substance.
Maltin**. "Well made and well acted, but it's impossible to care much about the central character, an enigma from start to finish who perpetrates some truly nasty deeds."
Nebraska (2013)
An aging, booze-addled father makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million-dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize.
Wonderful road movie thanks to paced, thoughtful direction, a splendid cast and some fantastic black-and-white photography.
Maltin***1/2: "Rich comedic portrait of taciturn Midwesterners..., featuring a gallery of wonderfully authentic faces... Dern and Forte anchor the film with their solid, credible performances. Beautifully shot in widescreen black & white..."
