Cole Webley&#8217;s film, &#8220;<strong>Omaha<\/strong>,&#8221; which stars John Magaro, was in competition at last year&#8217;s festival and will be released in theaters this spring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to its official lifeline, it is set during the 2008 economic crisis and revolves around a struggling father (Magaro) who embarks on a journey across the American West with his two children, Ella and Charlie. The film&#8217;s journey demands that viewers confront difficult truths as the family delves deeper into a dire situation. Cole Webley&#8217;s debut as a director is based on a screenplay by Robert Machoian. The father is played by John Magaro, and Molly Belle Wright and Wyatt Solis play the two children in the family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The film received some accolades include: a best film (first features) win at the Jakarta World Cinema festival, a jury prize from the Deauville American Film Festival, an audience award at Nashville, grand jury and best feature win at DIFF, the Jordan Ressler First Feature Award at Miami, and a raft of wins at the Richmond International Film Festival.<\/p>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1774669342741533\" data-ad-slot=\"1211148813\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<p class=\"p1\">Abe Friedtanzer wrote the review out of the 2020 Sundance, \u201c<i>Omaha<\/i>\u00a0is not an easy watch, staying very tightly focused on this family\u2019s present without delving much into the circumstances that led them there. The lack of a backstory isn\u2019t a problem but will certainly leave audiences with unanswered questions. What this film is, however, is an unflinching portrait of a man who has truly run out of options and has to do what he believes will ultimately benefit his children.\u00a0<i>Omaha<\/i> is raw and resonant, hardly a tale of overcoming obstacles but one that realistically depicts what devotion looks like after everything else has been stripped away.&#8221; (If you want to read the entire review, <a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/reviews\/sundance-film-festival-omaha-is-a-heartbreaking-family-portrait-with-terrific-performances\/\">https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/reviews\/sundance-film-festival-omaha-is-a-heartbreaking-family-portrait-with-terrific-performances\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Greenwich Entertainment will release the film in New York on Friday, April 24, and in theaters nationwide this May.
