Omaha

Poignantly navigating the challenges of fatherhood, Cole Webley’s debut feature is an intimate and sharply observed reimagining of the road movie. John Magaro (Past Lives, September 5) stars as a recently-widowed father who takes his two young children—impressive newcomers Molly Belle Wright and Wyatt Solis—on a cross-country journey after their home is foreclosed upon. As the family travels from Utah to Omaha, the children slowly begin to discern the painful reality beneath their spontaneous vacation. Cinematically enrapturing, Omaha is a heart-stirring portrait of family bonds grounded by the lived-in performances of its three leads.
