Review

 

Warren Schmidt (Nicholson) has arrived at several of life's crossroads all at the same time as he is forced to deal with an ambiguous future as he enters retirement. Soon after, his wife of 42 years passes away and he must come to terms with his only daughters marriage to a man he does not care for. With no job, no wife and no family, Warren is desperate to find something meaningful in his thoroughly unimpressive life. Warren sets out on a journey of self-discovery, exploring his roots across Nebraska and facing up to the failure that his life has become.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Nicholson Gives One Of The Best Performances Of His Career

MovieMistress | 29/04/2008 | See all MovieMistress' reviews (45) »

A strange and fascinating balance of compassion and satire, riotous laughter and quiet drama. In this funny, touching character study, Nicholson gives one of the best performances of his career. His verbal impotence and self-doubt are made all the more affecting because it is Nicholson who displays them, a star who usually appears charismatic, witty and sexually confident. Here, he's bathed in sadness, striving to find himself.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Exellent.
