Bruce Dern won Best Actor at Cannes for his performance as Woody: a broke, bitter, recovering alcoholic who barely speaks to his shrewish wife (scene-stealer June Squibb) or grown sons. Convinced he’s won a mail-order sweepstakes, he embarks on a cross-country journey, son David (Will Forte) playing Sancho to his Quixote. Always careful to avoid cheap sentiment, director Payne (The Descendants, Sideways) gently infuses the film’s comic tone with strains of regret and longing. D: Alexander Payne, US, 2013, 115m
