The 'indie' candidate for word-of-mouth film of the season

Source Summary

The beauty of truth: hidden gas stations, motels that are not sinister, just vulgar, supermarket parking lots, places of passage... Omaha takes place in locations where no one shoots films because they don't seem to deserve it. Cole Webley, in his debut, thinks the opposite: that cinematic truth beats precisely there, on the margins. That there is also beauty and expressiveness in some non-places. Especially if they serve to explain, as if it were a landscape with emotional and psychological temperature, a road movie about a father and his two impoverished sons (the film takes place during the 2008 crisis) who, after a family tragedy that is never fully explained, wander the back roads of Nebraska.
