1[on Bruce Dern’s performance in Nebraska (2013)] If Bruce Dern had never made a single film or knew nothing about “acting”, his work in Nebraska would have been the miraculous discovery of actual human decency and guilelessness.

What a gift Alexander Payne gives in letting us bask in Woody’s stultifying call to purpose and acknowledgement of one life’s span; at last groping the bell, to ring it, if only once. Woody refuses to apologize or explain or alter his course while enduring others’ heaping-on of a lifetime of shrugged-off doubts and ghosts. His plight is a piercing arrow of hope itself.

Close chapter, end the book.” But in my prickly, paranoid way, I’d say, “Well don’t they kind of pre-screen people at these agencies?”. So I like the fact these services exist, and I think if you’re meeting someone randomly outside the protection of the umbrella, you know you can’t
