Kurt Loder Reviews Nebraska and Charlie Countryman

Bruce Dern gives a brave and unfaltering
performance in Nebraska, the new movie by Alexander
Payne, according to Kurt Loder. Dern has already won the best-actor
award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and now his portrayal of
an old man sinking into the confusion of senile dementia is being
touted for an Oscar. This possibility has a sentimental attraction.
On the other hand, Charlie Countryman isn’t a bad
movie; in Loder’s opinion, it’s a movie of jaw-dropping
awfulness.
