Magaro, a chameleonic actor, has always borne an authenticity that naturally draws focus, but “Omaha” makes stellar use of how good he is with characters who push back against the camera’s ability to penetrate.

3/4

John Magaro is touching and vital in a wrenching family drama that speaks to what’s broken about family in America.

3/4

The movie that’s onscreen is still intelligent and serious. The ending isn’t happy, but it feels right.

Omaha, beautiful and atrocious, is thus wrapped in the same spirit as Bicycle Thieves and Manchester by the Sea, two films very different in time and style, but sharing a subtext: compassion and the impossibility...of forgiveness. [Full review in Spanish]
